9. Alarm Parameters – Optional
9.1 Introduction
The 16C, 18C, and 25C controllers all have two alarm LEDs on the front panel. Each of
these LEDs is associated with an alarm. Each alarm can be configured to be activated
(light the LED) when a specific condition exists. Alarm configuration is done using the
AlrAlr (alarm) menu. This menu is available only when the security access level is set to
CnF9CnF9 (configuration) or FACtFACt (factory).
30
The 16C, 18C, and 25C controllers can all be ordered with two dedicated optional alarm
outputs.
31
The operation and action of these alarm outputs is tied to the alarm menu
parameters that affect alarm annunciation using the LEDs.
See 1.6 for a more detailed discussion of your options for alarm annunciation using the
1ZC, 16C, 18C, and 25C controllers, and the types of alarm actions supported.

The access level in all new 16C, 18C, and 25C controllers is set to CnF9CnF9 at the factory. If you cannot
see the alarm menu, the access level has been changed to a more restrictive level. Instructions for
changing the access level are in Section 17.

Refer to the Athena catalog (or the model number breakdown in the installation manuals supplied with
the controllers) for details on the types of outputs available.
