Alarm Type

This drop-down menu lists the available alarm error conditions for all units. Alarm error conditions are divided into two categories:

zz Alarm errors that occur on an encoder zz Alarm errors that occur on a decoder

In addition, there is one alarm error that only occurs on the device that is configured as the system controller.

See the Alarm Reference Tables section on page 60 for more information.

Alarm Severity

Alarms may be set to one of three severities.

Alarm Severity

Description

 

 

 

 

Critical

A red colored traffic light indicator for the device (see Alarm Status

 

Icons on page 27 of the Device List Page section) will be displayed.

 

 

Warning

When triggered, a warning alarm will result. An amber colored traffic

 

light indicator for the device (see Alarm Status Icons on page 27 of

 

the Device List Page section) will be displayed.

A setting of Default (None) effectively filters the alarm condition.

 

The alarm still appears in the alarms list, but it will not affect any

 

colored indicators.

Apply the alarm filter settings by clicking Apply Filter Change.

NOTE: Changes will be lost after the VN-Matrix system is powered down unless the Save All tab is clicked to make changes permanent.
