6 Selecting points for status and control

Many of the advanced operations that can be accomplished from the operator interface first require you to select the point on which you
want to perform the operation. Points can be selected in one of three ways.
• Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory List. Points that are reporting an alarm, trouble, or supervisory condition can be selected from the
active alarm, trouble, or supervisory list.
• Using the Menu. The menu system includes an option that allows you to scroll through each category (monitor, signal, etc.) of point,
and then after selecting a category, you can scroll through the points for the category.
• Using the Entry Keys. The Entry keys, located on the far right of the operator interface, contain abbreviated labels for each category
of point. (For example, the key in the upper left corner of the Entry keys is labeled "ZONE" and the key to its right is labeled "SIG."
Pressing one of these keys causes the system to prompt you to select a specific point within the selected category.

Selecting points from alarm, trouble, supervisory list

When a point experiences an abnormal condition, such as an alarm, trouble, or supervisory, it is added to the appropriate list (alarm list,
supervisory list, or trouble list). Points within these lists can be selected as follows:
1. Press the appropriate acknowledge key to enter the list. (For example, press the FIRE ALARM ACK key to enter the list of current
fire alarms; press the TROUBLE ACK key to enter the list of current troubles).

Selecting points with the entry keypad

The Entry Keypad, shown below, allows you to quickly select a category of points. For example, pressing the ZONE key on the upper left
side of the keypad selects the monitor zone category. After selecting a category, messages on the display prompt you for the specific point
in the category.
You can use the keypad to select either a local point or a network point. A local point is one that is physically connected to the panel you
are currently at, and a network point is one that is located on a different panel but has been programmed so that it can be selected and
controlled from another panel.
