RIM-600 Manual

Environmental Input Alarm Logic

Each environmental input will automatically detect the type of sensor connected (temperature, humidity, power, motion...). Analog sensors will include high and low alarm limit programming options while two-state sensors (Normal/Alarm) will simply have a recognition time. In order for an alarm to be dispatched, the sensor must meet the following criteria:

a)It must be Enabled—as configured through the schedule.

b)It must have exceeded the programmed high or limit, continuously, for the duration of the wait (recognition) time. For two-state sensors it must be in the Alarm state, continuously, for the duration of the wait (recognition) time.

c)It must be a member of a Class.

d)There must be one or more User Profiles which include this Class.

Once the alarm is dispatched, the alarm delivery process begins. (See Alarm Delivery and Acknowledgment for details.)

Additionally, there is an option to re-trigger the alarm if it remains beyond the High/Low limits (or in an alarm state) too long. This programmable time period is called the Alarm Reset Time. This parameter can be set from 30 to 3600 minutes.

DO NOT set the Alarm Reset Time too short, otherwise you will continue to dispatch the same alarm over and over resulting in numerous phone calls.

Trouble Alarms

The RIM-600 monitors the presence of all connected sensors to insure the reliability of the system. When a sensor is removed from a Host or Node for more than a minute, a trouble alarm is gener- ated. All trouble alarms are a part of the Diagnostic class, so any User who wishes to receive sen- sor Trouble Alarm, System Diagnostic or Fault Alarms can do so by including the Diagnostic class in their user Class List.

Removing/Changing a Sensor

Since the Host and Node monitor the presence of sensors, you must be careful when removing them to prevent a trouble alarm from occurring. The following procedure is recommended:

a)Disable the sensor you wish to change/remove by clearing its schedule.

b)Disconnect the sensor from the Host or Node.

c)Login to the Host or Node and expand the Environmentals to display all of the inputs. Right click on the sensor to be removed and select Delete.

A new sensor can now be connected to the empty channel.

Special Notes

To reset a Smoke detector alarm, you must momentarily disconnect it from the Host or Node, and then reconnect it. This will silence the alarm and return it to normal operating condition.

Configuring Templates

Environmental input programming Templates are used to load user-specified defaults each time a new sensor is connected to a Host or Node. By properly configuring the Templates before you plug in your sensors, you can minimize the amount of programming required to set up your sensors. To
