ALARM GROUP DISPLAY OPTIONS

To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-H). Before programming alarms you may want to determine the alarm display format for each alarm group. An alarm can include up to eight steps, so eight camera views could display as a part of each alarm.

A priority alarm appears on system monitors before non-priority alarms, despite the order specified by the alarm group assignment. In the examples below, all alarms are at the same priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in Program Internal and External Alarms.

BLOCK BUILD

Alarmed cameras are displayed across a block of alarm monitors in a sequential order. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.

Example: Eight alarms set to display on monitors 02-07 will appear in the following order:

	1st Display	Next Display	Acknowledging	Next Display
Monitor	Cycle	Cycle	Alarms 1 & 2	Cycle
02 B	1st alarm	1st and 7th	Acknowledge	7th alarm
		alarms cycle	1st alarm
03 B	2nd alarm	2nd and 8th	Acknowledge	8th alarm
		alarms cycle	2nd alarm
04 B	3rd alarm	3rd alarm	3rd alarm	3rd alarm
05 B	4th alarm	4th alarm	4th alarm	4th alarm
06 B	5th alarm	5th alarm	5th alarm	5th alarm
07 B	6th alarm	6th alarm	6th alarm	6th alarm

New alarms display on the lowest monitor number with the fewest alarms cycling.

CHRONOLOGICAL PAIR: D AND Q

The oldest alarm of a specific group is displayed on one designated monitor, while all other alarms in the group are sequenced on the second designated monitor. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.

Example: Four alarms set to display on monitors 04 and 05 will appear in the following order:

Monitor	1 Alarm	2 Alarms	3 Alarms	4 Alarms
04 D	1st alarm	1st alarm	1st alarm	1st alarm
05 Q		2nd alarm	2nd and 3rd	2nd, 3rd, and 4th
			alarms cycle	alarms cycle

You must acknowledge alarms in a chronological pair from the display monitor (D). Then the next oldest alarm moves to the display monitor and the remaining alarms continue to cycle through the queue monitor (Q). This format requires you to acknowledge each alarm in the order in which they occur.
