3.0 ALARM OPERATIONS
3.1 LOCAL SAT ALARM RESPONSE
NOTE:
Alarms will interrupt sequence opera-
tions in progress on local
SAT
monitors. Once
the alarm is acknowledged, the sequence will
return to where it left off
Whenever an input alarm condition occurs on the SAT, the local SAT opera-
tor (if previously programmed for alarm access notification) will see a display
similar to the following on the local monitor screen:
The A is the sequence status indicator’s shorthand for a current alarm condi-
tion.
The alarm notification occurs because:
1. The Alarm menu input condition (N.O., N.C.) has been met and the alarm
is armed for local SAT response, and
2. The local SAT user’s monitor has been programmed (in the Monitor Pro-
gramming menu) to see alarms, in general, and to see the armed camera
in question, in particular.
User response to the alarm condition is also based on Monitor menu
entries for the monitor.

SAT Alarm Clearing
NOTE:
If a programmed alarm elicits a re-
sponse on both the
9760 SIDE
and the
SAT
SIDE
of a configuration, clearing or acknowl-
edgment of the alarm on either side of the con-
figuration has no effect on the other side of the
configuration. Alarm acknowledgment influ-
ences are mutually exclusive.

Alarm Acknowledgment Response Settings
MANUAL
If an alarm is programmed for automatic acknowledgment,
the alarm will remain on the screen for 10 seconds or as
long as the alarm contact is held plus 10 seconds.
If an alarm requires manual acknowledgment, the alarm
will remain on the screen until it is acknowledged. Multiple
alarms sequence according to the alarm dwell setting in the
Monitor menu.
For alarms requiring manual acknowledgment (this also applies to automatic alarms before their programmed timeout), releasing or acknowl-
edging the alarm can be accomplished in one of two ways:
By pressing the ACK key while the alarm is currently displayed.
By entering the number of the alarm before pressing the ACK key regardless of whether the alarm is displayed.
