CUST-ALM (Customer-Provided Alarming Device)
Customer-Provided Alarming Device Test (#115)
This test closes the relay that activates the CPAD for 1 minute only within the port
network specified. If it takes longer than 1 minute to check that the CPAD has
been activated, the Repeat field on the test customer-alarm PC command can
be used to close the relay for up to 99 minutes. When the repeat option is used,
the results for Test #115 come back immediately and, for each test that passed,
the CPAD is kept on for that many minutes. The CPAD does not go off after 1
minute and come back on. Instead, the CPAD is kept on continuously for the
entire time. If the CPAD is being activated and deactivated in a flickering fashion,
there is a problem with either the CPAD or the Processor circuit pack.

Description/Recommendation
Internal system error
1. Try the command at 1-minute intervals a maximum of 5 times.
The switch software successfully sent the request to the Processor circuit
pack to turn on the CPAD. The CPAD must be physically inspected to
verify that it is working.
If the CPAD is working but did not indicate a system alarm when it
occurred, check the administered levels for turning on the CPAD on the
Display System-Parameter Maintenance screen. Compare these levels
with the customer's specifications.
If Test #115 passes and the CPAD is not being activated, check the
connection of the CPAD to the Processor circuit pack. If the CPAD can be
activated but cannot be deactivated, first check to make sure Emergency
Transfer is not activated in the affected port network with status system.
Emergency Transfer can be forced to manual OFF by the Emergency
Transfer switch on the Processor circuit pack. If Emergency Transfer is
OFF and the CPAD cannot be deactivated, check the administered levels
for the CPAD with the Display System-Parameter Maintenance screen
form and compare against the alarm levels currently present in the system
(display alarms command).
