Alarm Indications

Attendant alarms

Your SelecSet 500A attendant console can receive various alarms, depending on how the system is configured and what keys you have programmed. This section describes various alarms that may light lamps on your console and the action you should take when you receive the alarm.

Receiving a Combined Alarm

Combined alarms

CALM lamp status

This alarm conserves the number of keys that are assigned to alarms. The <CALM> (combined alarm) key combines the system, PMS and VMS alarms (you can still have these alarms programmed on separate keys) and answer detection alarms.

The lamp associated with the <CALM> key lights when a malfunction is detected in the system, the answer detection link, the PMS/PMSHOBIC link, or the VMS link. The CALM lamp stays lit until the problem is corrected.

The CALM lamp indicates the status of the alarms:
