11.1.6 The Alarm menu

Siemens Building Technologies
Fire Safety & Security Products
The Alarm menu provides access to settings relating to the alarm contacts in the
XTU unit. Each of the 8 alarms can be configured individually to respond in a
different way.
Contact Selects whether the alarm contacts are normally open(N/O) or normally
closed (N/C).
Video blanking Video blanking provides a way of signalling an alarm for systems that do not
support remote reporting. When set to Yes, an alarm will blank the video for
3 seconds.
For example: A V2 system with video loss alarms fitted.
Relay Selecting Momentary will cause the relay output to operate for 3 seconds
when an alarm occurs. Select Latched for the relay to operate for the full
duration of the alarm.
Alarm text Each alarm can be identified with 24 characters of text that will appear when
an alarm occurs, remaining on-screen until the alarm is acknowledged by a
user manually controlling the Dome
Global settings
Local report Enables a local response of the alarm. The Dome moves to the assigned
preset position and displays the user entered text (see Assign alarm
presets in Section 11.1.3: The Presets, Tours and Patterns menu).
Remote report Enables remote reporting of the alarm (for systems with bi-directional
telemetry - the alarm state is signalled to the controller).
Alarm resume This setting, in conjunction with Time Period, determines what action the
Solaris™ Dome will perform after an alarm has occurred. When Alarm
Resume is set to Home the camera will return to home position (preset
1). Alternatively, you can select any of the four tours or four patterns
(assuming these have been programmed – see Section 11.1.3: The
Presets, Tours and Patterns menu).
Time period Sets a delay period before performing the action specified in 'Alarm
resume'
