10.3 Alarm Card User Screens and Settings

10.3.1 Alarm Filter Screen Sensor Setting

First, make sure the master setting for all alarm sensors is set properly as the SENSOR variable
in the Alarm Filter Screen. To set this variable, first select Alarms from the System Main
Screen, then choose Filters. This will display a list of alarm filters, as shown in Figure 10-2.
In this menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the first column of the SENSOR line. Pressing
<Enter> displays the options ignore, log, and report. The option chosen here will act as the
highest-level option for all alarm card sensors. If this variable is set to ignore, any alarm
conditions on the alarm card will be ignored, even if you set them up individually to log or
report.
Likewise, if you set this variable to log, all sensors on the Alarm card that are set to anything
other than ignore will be logged but not reported. For this reason, it is crucial that the
SENSOR variable be set to report (see Figure 10-2). Note on the figure, this is the first of
three pages of alarm settings. Use the page down operation (pgDn) to see the next screen.

10.3.2 ALR 4+4 Card Main Screens

Figure 10-3 shows the ALR 4+4 Card Main Screen. To go to this screen, highlight the Alarm
card in the System Main Screen and press <Enter>.
