APPENDIX 3 - GLOSSARY

Acknowledged: When an Input has triggered an alarm, the dialler has made an alarm
notification call, and the operator has indicated to the dialler that the alarm has been
received, then the alarm is acknowledged. This means the dialler can cancel any further
alarm notification calls.
Alarm Notification Call: When the dialler makes an outgoing call, and uses its
recorded voice and pager messages to notify the called party that there are one or more
triggered alarms.
Application Voice Messages: Short messages recorded for each I/O point and Group
giving site-specific labels.
Armed: Dialler is in Run Mode and monitoring its I/O. See Normal State.
Cancelled: See Acknowledged.
Com/Gnd: Common or Ground electrical connection.
Call Lists: Selections of one or more of the numbers stored in the Master Phone List.
Each List is mapped to an input Group being monitored for alarms. If an alarm is
triggered, the RTU will use the Call List to make alarm notification calls in the order
listed. There can be a number of Call Lists constructed to accommodate different
requirements.
Default Pin Number: The factory default PIN number for access to Program Mode is
0000.
Dialler: EDAC700 RTU.
Database: The memory area where all the site-specific configuration information for the
dialler is stored. This includes Input, Group, Call List, and Roster configurations as well
as Phone numbers and security settings such as PIN numbers.
Groups: A collection of Inputs is mapped to a Group. Groups can be either one input or
any number of inputs or I/O points. These Groups can be used to trigger an alarm.
Multiple Groups can map and re-use I/O points. If an "Input" is triggered or out of range
the group it is mapped to generates an alarm. You cancel a Group rather than an input.
Input: Input signal for alarm testing or reporting. Can be configured in a number of
different ways.
I/O: Abbreviation of Input/Output. This refers in this manual to an individual dialler
screw terminal. Each terminal can be configured as either an Input or an Output.
Master Phone List: All telephone numbers and the associated names are entered into
the Master Phone List. When constructing a Call List the numbers must already have
been entered into the Master Phone List.
NO: Normally Open Input.
NC: Normally Closed Input.
