Alarm Groups; Viewing And Clearing Historical Logs - Simplex Foundation Series Operation Manual

9.7

Alarm groups

You can implement basic selective signaling applications with alarm groups.
When you program an input, such as a zone of smoke detectors, and output points, such as an NAC or relay, you can associate the point
with an alarm group number.
The number can range from 1 to 99 and each point can be in up to three alarm groups.
When programming is complete, an initiating device can trigger only the output devices such as relays or NACs that share its alarm groups.

Viewing and clearing historical logs

The control unit has four separate, non-volatile historical logs:
• Alarm
• Supervisory
• Trouble
• User
You can view historical logs separately, or you can view each log in chronological order as a single combined log. For different logs and their
stored events, see Table 16.
Each log records information about the event and the time the event occurred.
You can view logs at access level 1, but only an operator with a level 2 login or higher can clear logs.
