Alarm Call-Out
The WCC III - MCD will automatically E-mail an alarm or alarms
to an E-mail address or to multiple E-mail addresses. There are
eight different alarm types or alarm classes - each with their own
priorities. Only the fi rst fi ve alarm types or classes can “E-mail
out”; each of these fi ve alarm types can E-mail up to 12 separate
E-mail addresses. You could also send an E-mail to Text message
your cell phone, depending on your service plan with your cellular
phone provider.
Analog Alarm Limit
Each analog input on a satellite can have a low and high limit
assigned to it on the Analog Input Screen. If the value of the analog
input falls below the low limit or rises above the high limit, the
system automatically generates an alarm.
For example, assume that the analog input in question is a
room temperature sensor located in an offi ce space. If the space
temperature falls below 68 °F or rises above 80 °F during the
occupied period, we want an alarm to be generated. To set up the
alarm limits, fi rst sign on by accessing the System Parameters
Screen and entering your password. An access level of 1 or greater
is required to enter or change alarm limits. An access level of 2 or
greater is required to enter or change what the alarm is controlled
by, the alarm type, and the alarm messages. After you are signed
on, return to the Main Menu, place the cursor over “ANALOG
INPUT” and press
. Then place the cursor over one of the
eight analog inputs and press . An Analog Input Screen
similar to what is shown in Figure 11-1 should come into view:
