• Emergency Alarm Monitoring:
• Enable: Enables emergency alarm monitoring.
• Monitor alarm button input: By default, the alarm button alarm input is monitored
with visible and audible indicators driven by the Alarm Light and Alarm Buzzer out-
puts.
• Monitor in-car stop switch: By default, the in-car stop switch is monitored with vis-
ible and audible indicators driven by the Alarm Light and Alarm Buzzer outputs.
• Monitor car delayed with doors closed: When enabled, if the car is delayed with
doors closed an amount of time in excess of the Car delayed timer setting, the Alarm
Light and Alarm Buzzer outputs will be activated.
• Monitor safety circuit open: If enabled, any condition that causes a safety string
switch, contact, or relay to open will activate the Alarm Light and Alarm Buzzer out-
puts.
• Require acknowledgement: Requires that the emergency alarm be acknowledged in
order to turn off the Alarm light and buzzer. Typically this is done via the Alarm Reset
input.
• Allow software acknowledgement: If enabled, emergency alarms may also be
acknowledged via iMonitor.
•
• Binary PIs:
• Zero based: Specifies that the binary outputs to the position indicators shall be zero
based.
• One based: Specifies that the binary outputs to the position indicators shall be one
based.
Note
Alarm Light: Typically, the Alarm Light is placed where it will be visible to security personnel.
The output remains latched until acknowledged by activation or the Alarm Reset input (typi-
cally a keyed switch).
Note
Alarm Buzzer: Typically, the Alarm Buzzer is placed where it will be audible to security person-
nel. The standard (in-car stop or alarm open) output is constant and causes a constant tone. The
additional (delayed with doors closed or other open safety condition) output is pulsating and
causes a pulsating tone. This output does not latch but remains active only so long as the moni-
tored condition exists (switch, contact, or relay remains open).
