Notes
By default, i-Vu CCN Pro performs an alarm action when the alarm source
generates an alarm and when it returns to normal. Under Perform Action you can
choose to:
•
Run the alarm action only when the alarm source generates an alarm or when
it returns to normal.
•
Wait for the specified amount of time, then run the alarm action if the alarm
has not been acknowledged or has not returned to normal. *
•
Run if the alarm occurs during the occupied hours defined for a schedule
group or run if the alarm occurs during the unoccupied hours defined for a
schedule group. *
EXAMPLE: To have i-Vu CCN Pro perform one alarm action during work hours
and a different alarm action after work hours:
1. Create a schedule group (page 49), but do not assign members to it.
2. Create a schedule for the group. Set the occupied hours to be the same as
the work hours.
3. Create the alarm action that you want i-Vu CCN Pro to perform during work
hours. Under Run Conditions, select Run if schedule group <your new
group> is Occupied.
Create the alarm action that you want i-Vu CCN Pro to perform during after hours.
Under Run Conditions, select Run if schedule group <your new group> is
Unoccupied.
