    CHAPTER 1 | PMI OPERATION MANUAL Tree Structure In most menus, the PMI uses a tree structure to display the elements of the system. Subordinate items connected to a device are children of that device; the device connected just above the device is its parent. This tree structure closely resembles the physical arrangement of elements used in the Zeus programming tool.

  • Page 10: Normal Mode

    | CHAPTER 1 PMI OPERATION MANUAL NORMAL MODE Normal mode is the absence of any alarm, supervisory, trouble, or security conditions. The screen displays SYSTEM STATUS: NORMAL with the time and date. If a custom message has been programmed using the Zeus tool (refer to Zeus Quick Start Guide, P/N 315-033875), the node custom message also displays in this mode.

  • Page 11: Alarm

    CHAPTER 1 | PMI OPERATION MANUAL Once all events are acknowledged and audibles silenced, a Reset System soft key becomes available in the lower right side of the display. If notification appliances were active, two additional soft keys become available at the bottom of the screen. These allow the operator to silence or unsilence the notification appliances (audibles).
  • Page 12 | CHAPTER 1 PMI OPERATION MANUAL In addition, the System responds to alarms with other output functions (as pro- grammed in the Zeus tool) such as other audible signals. An Acknowledge Alarms soft key displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press this key to acknowledge each alarm and to silence the local audible.
