7.7.1 Alarm Source
Fusion always acts as an alarm source, no matter what type of equipment you are con-
necting to. Refer to Section 7.7.2 on page 7-59 if you want Fusion to sense Unison
contact closures or other external alarms.
Using FlexWave Focus to Monitor Fusion
When you connect FlexWave Focus to the Fusion, the Fusion Main Hub is the output
of the alarms (alarm source) and Focus is the input (alarm sense), as shown in
Figure 7-32. Focus supports only faults (major errors).
