of key areas at important times. The MegaPower
CPU allows you to create 35 Event Timers.

Configuring Alarms

The MegaPower CPU can respond to 4,096 alarms
by calling cameras, salvos, or Presets to armed
monitors and turning auxiliary devices on or off.
These alarm responses are defined in tables called
Alarm Monitor/Contact Tables.
EASY CPU provides one master Alarm
Monitor/Contact Table and four additional tables for
customizing monitor assignments. The master Alarm
Monitor/Contact Table conforms to the site
configuration of alarms and their associated cameras
and auxiliary devices. You should alter this table only
if the site configuration changes or in the event of
errors in previous data entries.
Each of the additional tables contains the same
associations of alarms to cameras, salvos, presets
and auxiliary devices as the master Alarm
Monitor/Contact Table. The difference between the
master table and any of the additional tables is in the
association of monitors to each alarm. You can
change the monitor associations in any of the
additional tables.
The system routes alarms to monitors depending on
which Alarm Monitor/Contact Table is active at the
time of the alarm. You can schedule Alarm
Monitor/Contact Tables to become active
automatically through Event Timers (see page 27).
Click on the Alarms links in the Explore menu to
begin (Figure 65 on page 29).
