ALARMS
The Spectra II dome has seven alarm inputs, which can be designated as either high or low
priority. The high priority setting is significant when more than one alarm is activated. If priority in
alarms is not required, leave all alarms in the low setting. Refer to the
Alarm Priority
section.
If presets 1-7 are not used for alarms, they can be used as regular presets. However, if they
are being used for alarms, they should not be used for anything else.
Also refer to the
Alarm Dwell, Alarm Pattern, Alarm Resume,
and
Pattern Length
sections
to program alarm conditions.
ALARM DWELL
NOTE:
Pattern length is set
on the secondary menu
entitled Other.
NOTE:
To make the pattern
run to its end when an alarm
activates it, make alarm
dwell time longer than
pattern length. Thus, if the
alarm goes away before the
end of the pattern, the
pattern will continue until the
dwell times out.
