Setting External Alarm Inputs
The microcontroller in the IDU reads the alarm inputs (dry contact) and
transmits them over the management channel to the GiganetView
management system. This allows the FibeAir 1500 system to report external
alarms not related to itself.
For each alarm:
1. Click on the box next to the alarm number to enable/disable the alarm.
Alarms that are enabled are indicated by a filled red box (
■); disabled
alarms are indicated by an empty box ( ).
2. Place the cursor in the field to the right of the enable/disable button and
type a description for the alarm (e.g., "door open", "A/C Failure").
3. Select a severity (Major, Minor, Warning or Event) for the alarm.
Setting Alarm Outputs
The FibeAir 1500 provides five alarm outputs, which may be used by other
systems to sense FibeAir 1500 alarms.
