Alarmed cameras can be displayed on one or several monitors as part of one or several alarm groups (each monitor can display only one 
alarm group).

Before programming alarm settings note the following precautions:

•

Verify that no automated system functions are set to run, such as a macro that would arm or disarm an alarm.

•

Ensure that system operators do not arm or disarm any alarms while you are programming alarm settings.

NOTE:  You cannot access the Alarm Contacts screen when an alarm is active. If an alarm is triggered while you are in the CM6800 programming 
screens, the system will exit the on-screen programming function and display the alarm on the appropriate monitor(s).

Complete the following steps to program alarms:

1. Program 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. Refer to Program Alarm Groups.

2. Program the individual alarm contact. Refer to Program an Internal or External Alarm Contact.

3. Optional: Assign a logical alarm number to the alarm contact. Refer to Assign a Logical Alarm Number.

Use the Alarm Group screen to configure alarm groups to appear on system monitors.

Figure 34.  Program Alarm Groups

Specify the display option for each alarm group. Refer to the on-screen Help or to the Alarm Group Display Options section in the Appendix for a 
descripton of each display option.
