ALARM GROUP DISPLAY OPTIONS

To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned to an alarm group (A-H). 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
examples below, all alarms are at the same priority level. Refer to the PRIORITY description in Program Internal and External Alarms.

BLOCK BUILD

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: Eight alarms set to display on monitors 02-07 will appear in the following order:

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

CHRONOLOGICAL PAIR: D AND Q

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:

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 acknowledge each alarm in the
order in which they occur.
