Using an External Alarm Panel with the Fault Relay
Checking if a Pulse Is Enabled On a Unit

After you have set events to alarm and the alarm hardware connected to the unit is
triggered, notification of the event is either:
•
Immediate. Your Multi-Media units are networked to the alarm station or an alarm
session is in progress at the site where the alarm occurs. Note that units using dial-up
connections monopolize an operator's modem; it is not possible to run alarm
sessions at many of these sites at the same time. More occurrences of the event are
ignored until the alarm is rearmed.
•
Within the minute. Your Multi-Media Administrator has set the video unit to call an
alarm station as soon as possible after an alarm. You are notified of the alarm whether
or not an alarm session is in progress at that site. If the alarm station is unavailable or
busy, an attempt to call it back is made every minute until a connection is established.
When more than one alarm station is assigned, they are polled in sequence.
- or -
•
Deferred. When a Multi-Media unit is not assigned to an alarm station, the unit holds
alarms until you start an alarm session for the site.
Your Multi SA has the option of enabling a FAULT Relay on a Multi-Media unit. If the FAULT
Relay is connected to an alarm panel, an operator can be warned of unit failure.
In a Search for Events session, click the Outputs tab. Options for Output 6 are greyed out.
Your Multi SA can change the name of outputs, as needed.
Note
Output 6 is greyed out only when the FAULT Relay is connected to a
16-channel Rapid Eye unit (Rapid Eye Multi-Media and Multi-Media DSP).
Rapid Eye Multi-Media LT units are not affected by this feature.
