The Add Monitors dialog box appears.

Figure 132. Add Monitors dialog

2. To partition monitors to cameras, complete the

following fields:

• Number of Monitors – Specify the monitor by

number.

• Type – Defining the type of monitor

determines how the monitor treats incoming

alarms. From a dropdown list, you can define

each monitor as:

− Single – Incoming alarms are displayed on

a single monitor. Multiple alarms received at

a single monitor will be either sequenced or

held based on the monitor’s alarm queuing

method. For an explanation of alarm

queuing methods, refer to

APPENDIX H:

Monitor Arming Methods on page

74.

− Block – Incoming alarms are displayed on a

block (group) of monitors with which they

are associated. The first incoming alarm is

displayed on the first (lowest numbered)

monitor of the block. The second alarm is

displayed on the next lowest numbered

monitor of the block, and so on. When all

monitors in a given block are displaying

alarm video signals, all subsequent alarms

are either held in queue or sequenced until

the displayed alarms are cleared depending

on the monitor alarm queuing method.

− Dual Hold – An incoming alarm is displayed

and held on the monitor until cleared. All

subsequent alarms are queued in order until

the current held alarm is cleared.

− Dual Sequence – Incoming alarms are

displayed in sequence on an armed monitor

and will cycle continuously until cleared.

Each alarm will be displayed for a pre-

programmed dwell time before it is

succeeded by the next received alarm.

− Disarmed – The monitor does not receive

alarms.

• Status – From a dropdown list, you can define

the selected monitor for either hold or

sequence status.

− Hold – Alarm remains on the monitor until

cleared

− Sequence – Alarms are sequenced on the

monitor until cleared

• Acknowledgement – This field allows you to

determine how alarms will be cleared for the

selected monitor. Options are:

− Instant – An alarm resets immediately at its

source when the triggering device returns to

normal. For example, a door opens and

activates the alarm: Closing the door clears

the alarm instantly. An operator can

manually override this alarm.

− Auto – An alarm resets at its source after a

20-second delay. For example, a door

opens and activates an alarm. The door is

closed immediately, but the alarm will not

clear unless the door remains closed for a

20-second interval. An operator can

manually override this alarm.

− Manual Ack. – An operator must clear the

alarm using a keyboard command.

− Instant No Ack. – Alarm resets instantly

after alarm condition goes away. No

acknowledgement from the operator is

permitted.

− Auto No Ack. – Alarm resets 20 seconds

after alarm condition goes away. No

acknowledgement from the operator is

permitted.

• Group these monitors together – You can

define several monitors as a group (or block)

for the purpose of displaying multiple cameras

or Salvo alarms. To create a group:

a. Select a range of monitors in the Number of

Monitors field.

b. Select Block in the Type field.
