1.2.2 Message Text Strings

There are 160 possible events that can be tracked. Each event is identified by a message text string that

is a brief description of the event generated by the controller when the event occurs. These strings can

be edited; an operator can change the message that is displayed when an event occurs. There is a 40

character maximum for these text strings. This allows an operator to create a message string that is more

descriptive to the operator, making report viewing easier.

NOTE: For information on Alarm Control Event Messages, see “Alarm Control” on page 1 in

section 12.

1.2.2.1 Editing Message Text Strings

1. To access the message text strings, click on the Setup ⇒ Monitor and Events pull-down menu.

2. Click on the Messages tab. The Messages window appears (see Figure 5-3).

NOTE: The “Elevator Reports Event” column does not appear unless elevator control has been

activated in “Set Door Type” on page 17 in section 2.

Figure 5-3: Event Messages and Configuration Fields

3. Use the scroll bar at the right side of the window to scroll through the entire list of event messages

and locate the message text string you would like to rename.

4. Click in the cell and type the new message text string name.

NOTE: When changing message text fields, the operator must be cautious that the intent of the

original message (the event that occurred to generate the message) is not changed when a new

message is defined. Otherwise other operators may misinterpret the redefined event message. There

is no default reset of the messages to return the text to its original form.

5. Click on the button. If the message text change is not saved before clicking any other

button or exiting the Setup Monitor window, the data entered is lost and must be re-entered.
