System Configuration and Operation
When interfacing to the External Alarm ports, the occurrence of any alarm designated as crit
will trigger a form-C relay contact on the External Alarm port. The relay contact action sets
off an annunciator or lamp at the equipment site. Similarly, the occurrence of any alarm
designated as major triggers a different contact and activates another external indicator. Refer
to the Alarm port Reference Guide for more information on the External Alarm ports.

Alarm Cutoff (ACO)
The ACO (Alarm Cutoff) security feature is used by the system to alert an operator to alarms
that clear themselves while the system is unattended. The ACO option settings are aco-on and
aco-off. If ACO is set to report or log alarms, any alarm set to report or log with a major
modifier brings up an additional alarm message on the screen. You must manually clear this
message, which is the ACO alarm message (depends on whether or not IMACS-200 is set for
latch or CUR). The ACO is used with the node port of the Interface port. It can also trigger an
external alarm device, such as a bell or lamp, that must also be manually cleared.

that occur. To do this, press “r” to select Refresh in the Alarm History Screen. Or, to delete
all entries in the log, press “c” to select Clear in the Alarm History Screen.
