Menu Functions
Note: The control unit continuously monitors all initiating devices and
outputs for any state change while in menu operation.
The main menu functions are shown in Figure 3-3.
Most functions will require additional data to be entered to implement the
function, such as a device address or desired alarm threshold.
1: ISOLATE
2: LIST
3: SET
4: TEST
Figure 3-3. Main Menu Functions
Table 3-4 lists and provides a brief description of typical functions that can
be performed using the ARIES System's menus. Figure 3-4 contains the
ARIES main menu functions and top-level displays.
Table 3-4. Main Menu Functions and Descriptions
The isolation commands prevent the ARIES Control Unit from acting upon
signals from initiating devices or from issuing activation commands to control-
unit-based and SLC-based outputs. The initiating devices and outputs remain
operational, but are disconnected from the control unit in the sense that events
reported by isolated initiating devices are ignored by the control unit and
commands to activate are ignored by isolated outputs and control modules.
The list commands are used to view the set of isolated initiating devices and
control-unit-based and SLC-based outputs. These commands are also used to
display configuration settings for automatic initiating devices, to display the list
of devices on the SLC and on the Intelligent Interface Module, and to view
lower-level events that are not displayed due to the occurrence of higher-level
events.
The set commands allow the installer to change the sensitivity settings for
Smart-One automatic initiating devices, to address and register initiating and
control devices, to activate a set of networked control units or to define global
operating parameters such as Global Acknowledgement of trouble and
supervisory events. These commands are also used to trigger automatic
configuration routines such as AutoLearn and AutoSetup.
The test commands enable service personnel to test the SmartOne initiating
devices for the ability to transmit alarm signals. You can also perform alarm-
simulation tests for the system's application program and can command on
control modules connected to the SLC.
