BACnet alarm notifications

The CSM can export alarms via BACnet. A total of three BACnet Recipients can be entered at the CSM's user interface.
Each BACnet Recipient can be configured to receive any or all of the three alarm categories (Fault, Problem, and Warning)
at different times throughout the day or week. This feature is provided so that less important alarms (e.g. warnings) do not
have to be sent to all recipients at all times/dates. Similar to e-mail, the BACnet alarm recipient portion of the Alarms
screen is laid out in a Fault1/Fault2/Fault3, Problem1/Problem2/Problem3, Warning1/Warning2/Warning3 format to allow
for this flexibility.
Examples:
1) To have a BACnet Workstation with Device Instance = 23 receive all three CSM alarm categories (Faults, Problems,
Warnings) at all hours, every day of the week, the operator would configure the following;
a) Set BACnet Alarm Recipient 1 = 23
b) Set Fault 1 BACnet Recipient = Recipient 1
c) Set Problem 1 BACnet Recipient = Recipient 1
d) Set Warning 1 BACnet Recipient = Recipient 1
2) To have a remote BACnet device with Device Instance = 5 receive CSM Fault alarms (alarms that shut the CSM
down) before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, the operator would configure the following;
a) Set BACnet Alarm Recipient 2 = 5
b) Set Fault 2 BACnet Recipient = Recipient 2
c) Set Fault 2 Time Range = 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM – Exclusive

Saving Your CSM Database Configuration

Saving the Database on the CSM

Save the current database after making any changes. To do so, navigate to the BAS Config screen of the CSM's user
interface and press the Save Database button. If the database is not saved, all changes you have made to the configuration
screens will be lost if the CSM looses power and the battery is bad.
Also, keep a written copy of the User Admin screen and any other screens you would want to duplicate if the CSM's
configuration was lost. Either printing the page from Internet Explorer or taking screen captures and saving them in an
electronic file can do this.

Saving the CSM's Configured Database Externally

The configured database can also be saved in an XML file format and saved on a CD. The Admin Tool is required in order
to save the CSM database in XML format. This would be useful if the CSM's main controller needed replacing and the
existing database could not be recovered. When the new hardware was installed on the job this saved database could be
loaded to the new CSM. This would configure the new CSM exactly like the old CSM.
