7.3.1 Change Label (Name of Input)

Each input has a default label (Device_1, Device_2, etc.) that you may change to a more descriptive name for ease in recognizing alarms and events associated with the input. The label may consist of up to eight characters (see Table 12 for valid characters).

The device name assigned through this menu is also displayed for the corresponding output.

Table 14 Input and output labels

Label		Applies to:
Device_1	Input 1	Output 1
Device_2	Input 2	Output 2
Device_3	Input 3	Output 3
Device_3	Input 3	Output 3

If the input label is changed, the output will change also.

7.3.3Define Input as Alarmable or Event

Each input may be defined as Alarmable (AL) or as an Event (EV).

•For an input defined as alarmable, a change in the status of the device triggers these actions: the LCD flashes, the audible horn sounds, a record is entered in the Alarm Log and the common alarm relay is energized.

•For an input defined as an event, a change in the status of the device is recorded in the Event Log.

For both types (alarmable and event), user setup determines output control—whether the device that changed status is disabled or kept in operating mode and whether a standby device is set to operate.

By default, all inputs are set up as AL (Alarmable).

•From the Setup Inputs Menu, choose Alarm/Event, as shown at right, and press Enter ↵.
