Event Log Options

• General information about the Event Log

• Event Log printer connections

• Displaying/Printing the Event Log
This system has the ability to record up to 224 events of various types in a
history log (224 event capacity). Each event is recorded in one of five categories
with the time and date of its occurrence (if real-time clock is set).
categories are:
• Alarm
• Supervisory/check
• Bypass
The log may be viewed (Display Mode) on an alpha keypad, or can be printed
(Print Mode) on a serial printer (connected to the system via a 4100SM serial
interface module.
• Connector J8, located above connector J7 on the right side of the main PC
board, provides triggers for powerline carrier devices (see Final Power Up
section) and provides pins for connection to a local serial printer via the
4100SM serial interface module, in applications where you want to print the
event log on a local printer.
• Mount the 4100SM using its clip bracket to attach it to the side wall of the
control cabinet. Make connections between J8, the 4100SM module and the
serial printer as shown below. Refer to the event logging commands paragraph
for a description of the commands which initiate event log printing.
