SHUNT COMMAND EXAMPLES

Assume it is necessary to hold open a controlled door because office furniture is being moved

in. A guard could be posted at the door to prevent unauthorized entries, and the door could be

shunted to prevent a DOOR HELD OPEN TOO LONG report from being generated. Or, assume

that an unauthorized entry has been made, causing a DOOR FORCED OPEN report to be

generated. In this case, the damage to the door must be repaired before the door can be returned

to normal operation.

In both the cases, the operator would invoke the SHUNT command, enter the DOOR function

to be shunted, and then enter the number of the door. This action prevents the generation of door

reports from that door until the UNSHUNT command (see Section 6.3.24) is used to reverse the

action of the SHUNT command.

6.3.19 SILENCE

The SILENCE command is for systems using the set of latched contacts (L-ALARM) on the SE

778-A Annunciator/Control module (Ann/C). The latched contacts are programmed in the

system database to close for specific alarm conditions during specific time intervals. Once

closed, this set of contacts can be opened (unlatched) only by operator intervention using the

SILENCE command.
