7. Alarm Configuration
The AFS-16 can generate alarms when temperature readings exceed user-defined
trigger levels, when input voltage is lost and then restored to the unit, when a Ping-No-
Answer condition is detected and when the Invalid Access Lockout feature is triggered.
In addition, the AFS-16 can also generate an alarm when the Monitor/Alarm Input
feature detects a signal change at the Control Module AUX connector. When any of
these conditions are detected, the AFS-16 can send an "Alarm" to the proper personnel
via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP trap.
