Alarm Groups

Reference Topics:

Group Tab

Events Tab

Keypad Alarm Shunting

Alarm Group Form

Alarm groups provide two things: 1) a convenient way of scheduling many alarms at once, and 2) a

means of disabling monitoring in many alarms from a keypad reader. Refer to the reference topic,

Keypad Alarm Shunting, for additional information. When a micro record is created, 16 alarm groups

are also created. You cannot delete an alarm group record. Alarm groups are owned by the associated

micro record. Use the Alarm Group Form to assign events or schedules to alarm groups. See Keypad

Alarm Shunting for more information.

For a shortcut menu to related forms, move the mouse pointer below any of the tabs and click the

right mouse button. If you are using this shortcut menu to get to the Schedules Form or Events Form, all

schedule or event records will display.

Click Search to locate and view or edit existing alarm group records.

Description

The description of the alarm group should be unique. When the records are created, the default

description includes the micro to which this alarm group is associated and the number of the alarm group,

for example 0001 Group 1, which represents alarm group one on micro one. All alarms are

automatically assigned alarm group 0. To change this description, type over the existing text and save

the record. It is recommended that you keep the alarm group number and micro number prefix to aid in

locating the alarm points on the physical hardware.

Facility

A facility option can be assigned for the alarm group from the drop-down list of available facilities for

assignment by this operator.

Be very careful when assigning the facility of an alarm group to a different facility than the micro.

You can create an undesired result if you do not fully understand facility assignment.
