Alarm ports

11.1 Introduction

The IMACS-200 system has eight alarm ports configured as:

Four outbound alarm switches (relay contacts) to allow the system to report alarms to external buzzers, bells, lights, alarm annunciators and other systems. The alarm contacts are controlled by the system software and can be configured for reporting various internal IMACS-200 alarms.

Four inbound alarm sensors will allow the IMACS-200 system to receive alarms reported by external devices such as back-up power systems, open door sensors, high water sensors, etc. Each inbound port has a sensor that detects activity from alarm contacts on the external equipment. Once detected, the alarm is reported on the IMACS-200 user interface and in its alarm log.

Each alarm port can be individual controlled by the system operator. These ports are discussed in detail below.
