Setting the action for a time event or sequence:

Each event can execute a sequence of actions (currently the only supported actions are close a relay pause and log meters).

Each sequence can be up to 7 commands long (a pause counts as a command). Actions are programmed separately from

Events. There are 128 action sequences that you can program. Action sequences are triggered when an event with the same

number occurs. When all commands are entered, enter '0' to terminate the sequence.

Enter event setup command: 88

Enter 3-digit event number: 001 - 128

Enter the Action Sequence command: 3

Part A: To enter a relay closure command:

Step 1. Enter '1'

Step 2. Enter the two-digit channel number.

Step 3. Enter '*' for raise or '#' for lower.

Step 4. Enter two-digit closure time, in seconds (cannot exceed 60).

Part B: To enter a pause command:

Step 1. Enter '2'

Step 2. Enter the two-digit pause time, in seconds (cannot exceed 60).

Part C: To log all meters at the specified time:

Step 1. Enter '3'

Part D: To Mute or Unmute channel alarm reporting:

Step 1. Enter '4’ to mute or ‘5’ to unmute

Step 2. Enter the two-digit channel number to be affected.

Part E: To reset the Web Server at a specified time:

Step 1. Enter '6'

You may add more relays, pauses & mutes to the action queue by repeating Part A, Part B or Part D above. From 1 to 7 steps may be

executed in an action queue. When done with the action sequence, enter 0.

Note about pauses - The action handler does not do anything else while a pause is being executed. This is only an issue if two events

are set to occur at the same time and the lower number event has a pause in it. The higher numbered event will not occur until all of

the pauses in the lower number event’s action sequence have been executed.

Note: Alarms caused by timed events are not reported. Timed events create new reference readings. For details, see the sub-

section titled: About readings, alarms & Alarm Dialing in the Alarms Reporting Menu Section that follows.

Quick setup reference for a daily event that repeats each day of a month.

This is typical of a programming sequence for AM power change or DA switching.

In the above example we entered 91 for the system setup mode, then 88 to program an event. We then choose an event that is

numbered from 001 to 128. We enable or disable the event in the next step using 1 or 0. We then enter the date & time that we want

the event to start. If we want the event to happen every year we enter a 00 in place of the two-digit year. Next, we set a period

number followed by a units number. In this case, we want the event to happen every day so we entered 01 followed by the code for

“daily” which is “2”. We could also have done it by entering 24 and hours (hrs code is “1” instead of “2”). Then we have to tell the

Sicon-8 how long we want this event to happen. Since we want it to happen for one whole month, we enter 01 and 1 which is 1 and

“month”. Again, we could have specified 30 or 31 days instead.

TIP:

Muting a channel is useful when you have a

monitored device that operates by its own clock (like

tower lights) By disabling monitoring of that device at

select times, you will not generate alarms. Don’t forget

unmute, too…
