Assign Alarms

Click Assign Alarms to display the Alarm Assignment dialog box that allows you to select specific alarms that will trigger e-mail notifications. Click OK and the selected alarms will display in the Assigned Alarms windowpane.

Transaction Type

Select one or both transaction types that will trigger an e-mail alarm notification.

•Alarm: E-mail notification is sent at onset of the alarm.

•Reset: E-mail notification is sent when an alarm is reset.

By default, no type is selected when you create a new Alarm Notifier record. A transaction type must be selected in order to save this record.

Alarm Sense Time

This form allows you to add or edit the link between an event and an alarm sense time. The event determines when and to what value the sense times for all alarms in the group are changed.

•Event: Select an event from the drop-down list. If there are no events listed, you will need to configure events using the Event Schedule Form.

•New time: Select or enter a sense time. The value is in seconds and indicates the delay before triggering an associated digital output or sending in a Secure Perfect alarm if the DI type is Alarm. This number tells the system how many seconds to wait after sensing the input has changed to Active State. Enter 00 to immediately send the transaction to the host, notifying the host of a state change. Increase the Sense Time entry if using noisy or chattering contacts.

Example: This value could indicate the delay time, in seconds, that elapses between the time a door contact is broken and the time the output and alarms are triggered. If door contact is re-established before the sense time elapses, the alarm would not come in to Secure Perfect and the output would not activate.
