11.2.1 Alarm Filter Screen Sensor Setting

First, make sure the master setting for all alarm sensors is set properly as the SENSOR variable in the Alarm Filter Screen. To set this variable, first select Alarms from the System Main Screen, then choose Filters. This will display a list of alarm filters, as shown in Figure 11-1.

In this menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the first column of the SENSOR line. Pressing <Enter> displays the options ignore, log, and report. The option chosen here will act as the highest-level option for all alarm port sensors. If this variable is set to ignore, any alarm conditions on the alarm port will be ignored, even if you set them up individually to log or

report.

Likewise, if you set this variable to log, all sensors on the Alarm port that are set to anything other than ignore will be logged but not reported. For this reason, it is crucial that the SENSOR variable be set to report (see Figure 11-1). The following screen is the default alarm filter settings that are set on the IMACS-200.
