Disable local print-out: Yes

The printer will automatically print alarms as they occur, operator
ID as the user signs on and off the system, any overrides that are
entered, satellite-out-of-service (SOS) alarms, energy consumption
reports, and the time and date of system re-boots. If you would
like to disable the automatic print-out, select “Yes” at this location.
Because this is a choice ﬁ eld, the choices will be displayed at the
bottom of the screen.

CHOICES:

Make your selection by pressing the

once for each

choice until the desired entry appears, and then press

Disable Satellite Alarms: NO

If some of the data is unreadable when the ECC/WCC II attempts
to communicate with a satellite controller, the system assumes
that the satellite controller is out of service. Alarms of this type are
considered a class #1 alarm and as such will print out locally and
“Call-Out” if allowed. In addition to this, an “SOS” (Satellite-Out-
Of-Service) message will appear to the right of the “VER” number
which appears for the satellite controller on the Satellite Summary
Screen.

If you would like to disable the automatic print-out and possible
call-out that will result from this “SOS” condition, select “YES”
at this location. Possible choices will appear at the bottom of the
screen. Pressing the

will alternate the choices from

YES to NO. Press

to select an answer.

Dial both Phone numbers for alarm type 1:

“

The System Parameters I Screen permits the user to enter two
telephone numbers for each of the ﬁ rst ﬁ ve alarm types. If an alarm
occurs and the System Parameters “Disabled By” ﬁ eld permits the
ECC/WCC II to call-out, the system will ﬁ rst try to contact the
primary (1st) telephone number. If successful, the system will
wait two minutes and try the alternate (Alt) telephone number.
This sequence will be repeated until one of the two numbers is
reached.

If you want the ECC/WCC II system to report the alarm to both
telephone numbers, select “Yes” at this location.

Since this is a choice ﬁ eld, press the

until the desired

choice appears and then press

Satellite alarm (“SOS”) Counter: 10

Due to a wide variety of communication error possibilities such as
communication loop wire gauge, loop length, number of satellite
controllers on-line, improperly grounded or missing loop shield,
and induction or high voltage interference, a false “SOS” (Satellite-
Out-Of-Service) alarm may be generated. To avoid false alarms, it
may be necessary to instruct the ECC/WCC II to receive several
“Sat Failure” messages before it issues an “SOS” alarm. This
can be accomplished by entering a number from 0 to 255 in this
section. In the example screen, we have instructed the ECC/WCC
