Contact Arming - American Dynamics MegaPower 3200 Administrator's Manual

− Dual Sequence – incoming alarms are
displayed in sequence on an armed monitor
and will cycle continuously until cleared. Each
alarm will be displayed for a pre-programmed
dwell time before it is succeeded by the next
received alarm.
− Disarmed – The monitor does not receive
alarms.
• Status – From a dropdown list, you can define
the selected monitor for either hold or sequence
status.
− Hold – Alarm remains on the monitor until
cleared
− Sequence – Alarms are sequenced on the
monitor until cleared
• Acknowledgement – The Acknowledgement
field allows you to determine how alarms will be
cleared for the selected monitor. Options are:
− Instant – an alarm resets immediately at its
source when the triggering device returns to
normal. For example, a door opens and
activates the alarm: Closing the door clears the
alarm instantly. An operator can manually
override this alarm.
− Auto – an alarm resets at its source after a 20-
second delay. For example, a door opens and
activates an alarm. The door is closed
immediately, but the alarm will not clear unless
the door remains closed for a 20-second
interval. An operator can manually override this
alarm.
− Manual Ack. – an operator must clear the
alarm using a keyboard command.
− Instant No Ack. – Alarm resets instantly after
alarm condition goes away. No
acknowledgement from the operator is
permitted.
− Auto No Ack. – Alarm resets 20 seconds after
alarm condition goes away. No
acknowledgement from the operator is
permitted.
• Group these monitors together
You can define several monitors as a group (or
block) for the purpose of displaying multiple
cameras or Salvo alarms. To create a group:
1. Select a range of monitors in the Number of
Monitors field.
2. Select Block in the Type field.

ADMINISTRATOR'S GUIDE
3. Click the box next to "Group these monitors
together."
Click OK to display the new monitor arming
configuration or Cancel to close the dialog box
without displaying the monitor arming configuration.
Remember to save and transfer your changes before
closing EASY CPU.
After clicking OK, the system will automatically
assign the same group number to each monitor in
the group. The group number will be the same as the
first monitor number in the group.
For example, suppose you create a group comprised
of five monitors starting at monitor number 12. The
system will assign monitor numbers 12, 13, 14, 15,
and 16 to the five monitors, but they will share the
number 12 as their group number.
Even though monitors are assigned in a contiguous
block, the armed monitors can be selectively
disarmed by changing the Type field to "Disarmed"
for each one that you do not want to be armed.
However, you cannot interleave monitor blocks.
