Introduction: Alarm
Reporting
In general, a controller reports alarms to any or all of
four different sources:
1. The E2 Display Header
Alarms that occur within a E2 may be reported to the
header display at the top of the screen. When an alarm is
reported to the display, the word "*ALARM*" flashes
underneath the time at the top of the screen, as shown in
the example below:
Figure 3-29
- E2 RX Display Header
2. The Advisory Output
Each E2 has a single digital output that reacts to alarm
reports. When an alarm is reported to this output, the out-
put turns ON and remains on until the alarm condition has
returned to normal.
3. Dial-Out
Alarms may be sent to remote alarm receivers via the
modem defined for the controller. Possible dial-out
devices include a PC running UltraSite, a printer, a fax
machine, and a digital pager.
4. The LonWorks Network (The Alarm Annunciator)
If multiple E2s exist on a network, you may choose to
send alarms across the LonWorks Network so that they
may be picked up by the Alarm Annunciator.
Refer to Section 3.9.2 for information on how an
Alarm Annunciator works.

In a network with multiple E2s, it is often the case that
certain sensors or transducer values will need to be used
by all E2s. A good example of this is outside air tempera-
ture. There is no real need for every E2 to have its own
outside air temperature sensor, and therefore it would be
beneficial if a single sensor could be used by all E2s on the
network.

The Global Data feature is an enhanced method of
effectively distributing commonly used input values
between multiple E2s. Sensors such as outdoor tempera-
ture and outdoor humidity are set up on an E2 as Global
Data inputs. This E2 then becomes the "provider" of the
