1.4.2 Configuring Boolean Alarm State Text
When configuring alarms in Building Operator Discovery, there are a few nuances
you should be aware of. First, if you’re configuring a Boolean alarm that has
different values than “True” or “False,” you need to know how to determine which
of these binary values are true, and which is false.
To determine this, please complete the instructions below:
1. Open and launch DB Builder from the Building Operator Discovery applications
menu.
2. Navigate to and select the Boolean point on the appropriate device, within the
device hierarchy.
3. Find and select the information icon (i), above the Point Name field.
4. Scroll down to find the enum property. To the right, you’ll find the Boolean point
values, listed in False, True order. In the screenshot below, the False value is
Day, and the True value is Night.
5. Once you’ve determined the correct value, navigate back to the Alarm Config
application (we recommend opening two separate browser tabs).
6. Select the check box next to the appropriate point.
7. Select the Boolean point filter, select Boolean Alarm in the Alarm
Configuration drop-down, then select Add/Edit.
8. Select either True or False, depending on the alarm value you want to set.
