NOTE:

Pattern length is set

on the secondary menu

entitled Other.

NOTE:

To make the pattern

run to its end when an alarm

activates it, make alarm

dwell time longer than

pattern length. Thus, if the

alarm goes away before the

end of the pattern, the

pattern will continue until the

dwell times out.

ALARMS
The Spectra II dome has seven alarm inputs, which can be designated as either high or low
priority. The high priority setting is significant when more than one alarm is activated. If priority in
alarms is not required, leave all alarms in the low setting. Refer to the

Alarm Priority

section.
If presets 1-7 are not used for alarms, they can be used as regular presets. However, if they
are being used for alarms, they should not be used for anything else.
Also refer to the

Alarm Dwell, Alarm Pattern, Alarm Resume,

and

Pattern Length

sections
to program alarm conditions.
