NOTIFICATIONS: brings up the Master Telephone List or the Master E-mail list for editing. The
Sicon-8 stores up to 20 phone numbers internally. This pool of telephone numbers can be assigned,
in any order, to each channel’s alarms. When a critical alarm condition is detected, the Sicon-8
calls any of the telephone numbers that you have associated with the channel’s alarms, in the order
that you specify for that channel. Similarly, the e-mail list is used by the Sicontroller software to
create a pool of e-mail addresses to be assigned to critical alarms for each channel.
X10 CONTROL: Puts X-10 device control buttons on your screen.
In order to use X-10, you must have the appropriate X-10 serial interface device. The Sicon-8
supports the x10.com Model CM17a or the PowerHouse Model PL513 or equivalent device. Note
that the house code must have already been set up in advance.
CONFIGURATION : The Configuration menu is the heart of the Sicontroller’s setup functions.
From the Configuration menu, you have complete control of both the site and individual channel
functions. The configuration form is broken into two main tabs. The Site tab configures everything
related to theoverall operation of the site, as a whole. The top part of the site tab controls various
optional settings like timers & some of the Sicon-8’s various operational modes. The bottom half of
