Rows and Columns of Modules
Use the up or down arrows to the right of each value to set the actual number of
modules. The AN3200 annunciators are limited to 13 rows or 13 columns and a
maximum of 200 alarms or 50 Cells. (Example: a 13 x 4 system is not allowed,
but a 5 x 10 is.)
Alarm points per module
There may be 1, 2 or 4 points per module as determined by your window size.
Quad size windows use 4 points per cell, Triple Size windows use 3 per cell, Dual
or Half Size windows use 2 per cell and Single or Full Size windows use 1 point
per cell. By default all modules have the same number of points. If different
numbers of points per module are required (Option IMW) click on the Advanced
button.
Hardwired inputs
The default is that all inputs are hardwired, which refers to the field contacts
wired to the back of the annunciator. On the mimic diagram the hardwired inputs
are shown with a dot at the center. Non-hardwired inputs refers to inputs that are
received via the serial communications. Non hard-wired inputs do not respond to
the I/O cards or field contact inputs.
Note: Serial Communications may be used for both Hardwired and Non-
Hardwired systems.
Input delay resolution
This determines the system-wide increment value for the input delay (or
response) for each alarm. It is used in conjunction with the individual input delay
setting in the Input Configuration Screen. The setting is based on whether your
maximum input delay will be 12.5 seconds or 250 seconds. You have 255
increments of the value selected. For the 50ms setting, you can have a
selectable software delay in 50 msec increments up to 12.5 seconds. For the
1sec setting, you have a selectable software delay in 1 second increments up to
250 seconds. Each input can have its own delay assigned as shown in the Input
Configuration page, however, this system setting (50msec or 1 sec) is applied
across the whole system.
Integral Push Buttons (Option INTB, LPPB, NPB)
These are the pushbuttons located in the lower right cell of the Annunciator
System (Option INTB) or on the bezel (Option LPPB). They include Annunciator
Functions: Test, Acknowledge, Silence and Reset. Option code NPB specifies no
integral pushbuttons. When options NPB or LPPB are specified in the model
number, the software box labeled Integral Pushbuttons should be unchecked, to
allow up to two active alarm windows in this position. For all selections (INTB,
LPPB or NPB), external pushbuttons can be connected to the Annunciator
terminal blocks with the same functionality.
