10.1.7 Buzzer Operation
In the Manual Mode, an Operator Alert Buzzer sounds
when a message is received until you press
[ACKNOWLEDGE]. The buzzer operation is
programmable and can be disabled when the receiver
is programmed for the Automatic Mode.
10.1.8 Reporting Devices: Primary and Secondary
A reporting device is any device that can print or
display messages from the D6600/D6100 Receiver.
This includes the central station automation computer
or an external printer. You can enable the external
printer and designate it as the primary or secondary
device. The automation computer is always a primary
device unless disabled. Primary reporting devices
receive all reports generated by the D6600/D6100.
Secondary reporting devices only receive input from
the D6600/D6100 when all primary devices fail.
UL 1981 allows the receiver to suppress
printing during normal automation system
operation if the printer starts printing upon
automation system failure.
If the receiver is in the Automatic Mode and all of the
primary reporting devices (such as printers and
computers) fail, the receiver re-routes the messages to
the secondary reporting device(s). If the receiver
programs no secondary reporting devices or if all
secondary reporting devices fail, the D6600/D6100
automatically switches to Manual Mode. When the
receiver restores automation to normal operation, the
D6600/D6100 returns to the Automatic Mode if the
user manually acknowledges the last buffered signal.
10.2 Normal Operation Mode
In Normal Operation Mode, the D6600/D6100
Receiver sends messages immediately or in blocks to
reporting devices (such as printers and computers) as
soon as the devices are ready to receive the
information. Signals do not remain visible in the
display. If all reporting devices fail, the D6600/D6100
reverts to Manual Mode until a device returns to
service. Normally, the D6600/D6100 sounds the
Operator Alert Buzzer for new events received when
the automation link fails.
Typical Alarm Receiving Sequence
1. An alarm occurs on Zone 3 at subscriber location
456. The user programs Account 456 to report to
Line 01 and does not assign Line 01 to report to a
call group.
2. The OL LED glows green when the receiver
answers the call and receives data.
3. The primary reporting device(s) (such as external
printer or automation computer) activates.
If the external printer is a primary reporting device
and Line 01 is not assigned to Group Reporting, it
prints:
If Line 01 is assigned to Group 1 Reporting, the
receiver’s external printer prints:
4. Line 01 hangs up
