Network Mode & Multiple Managers
Loop Search
When the System Manager is confi gured for Network Mode, a loop
search must initially be performed for the System Manager to recognize
alarms or overrides. Also, when you have a system that has multiple
System Managers and you have one of the System Managers set to
(63) Network Mode for alarm and override indication, you must also
perform a loop search for that System Manager. This allows the System
Manager to be aware of all alarms and overrides for all local loops on
the entire system.
To access the Loop Search Screen, from the Setup Screen Screen, press

System Alarm Search
The System Manager can be used to search for all active alarms on the
system. You must confi gure the MiniLink PD to allow for “ Alarm Poll-
ing” for each controller you want polled for alarms. See the MiniLink PD
programming section on page 75 of this manual for setting information.
This option will alert you of the number of alarms present on individual
units, but will not tell you what type of alarm are present. You will have to
perform and individual unit alarm search for detailed alarm information.
