Western Telematic AFS-16-1 manual Monitor/Alarm Input

Alarm Configuration

7.6. Monitor/Alarm Input

The Monitor/Alarm Input feature allows the AFS-16 to monitor Pin 4 on the Control Module's AUX connector, and then switch circuit modules, and/or activate an audible alarm or other external device and/or send notification when the signal at Pin 4 changes.

To configure the Monitor/Alarm Input feature, you must access the AFS-16 command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The Monitor/ Alarm Input configuration menu offers the following parameters:

•Trigger Enable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)

•Monitor/Alarm Input Level: Determines whether a high or low signal at the Monitor Input contact (Pin 4 on the Control Module's AUX Connector) will generate an alarm. For example, if the Monitor/Alarm Input Level is set at "Low", then

an alarm will be triggered when a low signal is detected at Pin 4. Note that the Monitor/Alarm Input Level is always set to compliment the setting for the Monitor Input Level Jumper as described in Section 7.5.1. (Default = Low.)

•Monitor/Alarm Input Delay: Determines how long the signal at the Monitor Input Contact must remain high/low in order to generate an alarm.

(Default = 0.5 Seconds.)

•Resend Delay: Determines how long the AFS-16 will wait to resend an email message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send notification was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes.)

•Notify Upon Clear: When this item is enabled, the AFS-16 will send additional notification when the signal at the Monitor Input contact (Pin 4 on the Control Module's AUX Connector) returns to the normal (non-alarm) state. (Default = On.)

•Email Message: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On.)

Note: If either of the "Copy to All Triggers" options is selected, then email notification for other alarms will be switched On or Off as indicated by this parameter.

Address 1, 2, and 3: These parameters are used to select which of the three email addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm.

The Address parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined via the Email Messages menu. (Default = All On.)

Note: If Email addresses have been previously specified, then the text under the parameters will list the current, user defined email addresses.

•Subject: Define the text that will appear in the "Subject" field for email notification

messages generated by this alarm. (Default = "Alarm: Monitor/Alarm Input".)
