USING THE ALARM CONNECTIONS AND ACO BUTTON

Introduction

The alarm connections alert the user when a selected alarm condition exists. The alarm may be cleared by pressing the Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) switch on the front panel of the ATLAS 550. This procedure details the steps which must be performed to use the ATLAS 550 alarm connections and ACO switch.

This procedure should be performed at installation on each ATLAS 550 shelf that is wired out to external office alarm equipment.

Prerequisite Procedures

Before beginning this procedure, the ATLAS 550 should be mounted in its permanent location and the alarm contacts should be connected (see DLP-014).

Tools and Materials Required

VT100 terminal or PC with VT100 terminal emulation software

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling modules, wear an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically grounded
