10.16.4Introduction: Alarm Report-

ing

In general, a controller reports alarms to any or all of four different sources:

1. The E2 Display Header

Alarms that occur within a E2 may be reported to the header display at the top of the screen. When an alarm is reported to the display, the word “*ALARM*” flashes underneath the time at the top of the screen, as shown in the example below:

2. The Advisory Output

Each E2 has a single digital output that reacts to alarm reports. When an alarm is reported to this output, the out- put turns ON and remains on until the alarm condition has returned to normal.

3. Dial-Out

Alarms may be sent to remote alarm receivers via the modem defined for the controller. Possible dial-out devices include a PC running UltraSite, a printer, a fax machine, and a digital pager.

4. The LonWorks Network (The Alarm Annunciator)

If multiple E2s exist on a network, you may choose to send alarms across the LonWorks Network so that they may be picked up by the Alarm Annunciator.

Refer to Section 10.16.2 for information on how an Alarm Annunciator works.
