Facility Control and Monitoring Functions
Specific facility control and monitoring functions can be grouped according to the needs they
address. The following functions is a general representation of available monitoring functions.
Alarm Reports
These reports provide visual and printed information of alarm conditions. Printed summary
reports are also available on demand and can be formatted to group alarms according to
user preferences (daily, weekly, monthly, individual room, type, etc.).
Of all facilitywide control and monitoring system functions, automatic alarm annunciation
reporting is the most important since the intent is to enable immediate action in response to
life safety and other critical situations. Alarm reporting should preferably consist of an
automatic printout that identifies the location and nature of the alarm, includes the time and
date, and other pertinent information. Where applicable, alarm reports can also include a list
of procedures for the person in attendance to follow to ensure a correct response to the
alarm (steps to take, who to inform, etc.). Alarm report printouts may also be supplemented
by an automatic graphical display to facilitate interpreting the nature of the alarm. Figure 20
shows a sample format of an alarm printout.
