System > Alarm Grid
The Alarm Grid window enables you to view all account alarm activity by simply watching a grid. Each
segment of the grid represents one subscriber account. When the mouse moves over each segment of
the grid, the account information is displayed in a small pop-up window. Click once to open the
account's Alarm List that displays information about the account and the alarm signals.
Arranging the Alarm Grid Window
The accounts in the Alarm Grid window are arranged in numerical order, according to receiver number
and account number. The segments are filled from left to right and top to bottom: The lowest account
number will be listed before higher account numbers. For example, account 1-12 appears before
account 1-22.
Also, all accounts reporting to receiver 1 are listed before those reporting to receiver 2 and above. For
example, account 1-12345 appears before account 2-12345.
Use the scrollbar on the right of the grid to move up and down in the grid. When an alarm occurs on an
account that is not in the screen, the Command Center automatically scrolls to the necessary segment.
Prioritizing Alarm Signals in the Alarm Grid Window
Messages are sorted by priority according to event type and time received. The Command Center will
display the segments with messages that have the highest priority and those that are received more
recently before scrolling to others.
If two alarms occur at the same time but cannot fit on the screen together, the Command Center first
displays the account segment with the higher priority alarm. After the highest priority alarm is
acknowledged, the Command Center then brings the next highest priority account segment to view.
For example, if a fire alarm is received at the same time a zone trouble is received, the Command
Center scrolls to the segment with the fire alarm and then the segment with the zone trouble. This is
to ensure that proper and timely action is taken on each incoming signal. Messages are prioritized in
the following order:
1. Fire Alarms
2. Panic Alarms
3. Burglary Alarms
4. All Supervisory
5. All Emergency
6. Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 Alarms
7. Fire Troubles
8. Other Fire (CleanMe™, zone fault, etc.)
9. Other Burglary (zone trouble, zone fault, etc.)
10. All Other Messages (AC fail, low battery, etc.)
