Alarm actions
The alarm input can have set multiple actions to be taken on that alarm’s triggering.
These actions consist of setting the contact outputs on that same CX-6p-PoE, or on
other CX-6p-PoE devices or other AFI devices on the network, of sending specific text
messages to a target over the network, or of sending an email message.
Remote Aux Actions
Address indicated the network IP address of the target device. This may be up to 15
characters long and must be in dotted-quad format. The default setting of “0.0.0.0”
indicates no action to be taken. Set this to the IP address of this CX-6p-PoE to
indication an action to be taken on the local unit. Setting it to another valid IP address
will cause the CX-6p-PoE to attempt to connect to that target on the network and set an
output on it when the alarm is triggered.
Aux is the number of the aux contact out on the target device to trigger. The valid range
of this number depends on the device being contacted. The CX-6p-PoE does not know
what the target unit is, so it is the responsibility of the user to select a valid output
number for the target device.
Action selects if the target aux output is to be set ON or OFF in response to the local
alarm condition.
Duration sets how long to set the target output for. If a duration is set, the CX-6p-PoE
will set the target aux contact out to the selected status (ON or OFF) for the chosen
duration, and them will set the target to the opposite setting. Thus, if an alarm is set to
trigger a certain aux ON for 5 seconds, the CX-6p-PoE will when that alarm is triggered
contact the target unit, set the indicated aux to ON, wait five seconds, and then set the
indicated aux to OFF.
Selecting “Follow” for the duration will cause the CX-6p-PoE to make the targeted aux
contact out follow the state of the alarm input. If the action selected is ON, the target will
be turned ON whenever the local alarm goes ON, and OFF when the local alarm goes
OFF. Selecting an action of OFF will invert the behavior, causing the targeted aux to go
OFF when the local alarm is triggered and ON when it is not.
