To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-F). Before programming alarms you may want to determine the
alarm display format for each alarm group. An alarm can include up to eight steps, so eight camera views could display as a part of each
alarm.

A priority alarm appears on system monitors before non-priority alarms, despite the order specified by the alarm group assignment. In the
following examples, all alarms are at the same priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in 

Program Internal and External Alarms.

Alarmed cameras are displayed across a block of alarm monitors in a sequential order. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear
on the designated monitor.

Example: Seven alarms set to display on monitors 02-06 will appear in the following order:

02 B

1st alarm

1st and 7th

New alarms display on the lowest monitor number with the fewest alarms cycling.

The oldest alarm of a specific group is displayed on one designated monitor, while all other alarms in the group are sequenced on the
second designated monitor. All steps programmed for the alarm contact appear on the designated monitor.

Example: Four alarms set to display on monitors 04 and 05 will appear in the following order:

04 D

1st alarm

1st alarm

1st alarm

1st alarm

05 Q

2nd alarm

You must acknowledge alarms in a chronological pair from the display monitor (D).
Then the next oldest alarm moves to the display monitor and the remaining alarms
continue to cycle through the queue monitor (Q). This format requires you to acknowl-
edge each alarm in the order in which they occur.
