1.15.4 Remote Area Status Screen. The Remote Area Status Screen (figure 1-7) provides an overall view of the 64
remote areas. It is divided into three sections and allows selection of remote areas. It provides a listing of all the 64
remote areas with the status of each area. It consists of two pages (separate screens). Movement between the screen is
controlled by using the <PgDn> (moves down one page) and <PgUp> (moves up one page) keys. Each page displays
information about 32 of the remote areas being monitored. The screen provides the area number, the location of the
area, the priority assigned the area, the type of power at the area, and the alarm condition of the area. The areas
displayed by each page are as follows:
page 1 areas 1 through 32
page 2 areas 33 through 64
1.15.4.1 Area Column. The area column indicates the number assigned to the area. The areas are numbered from 1
to 64.
1.15.4.2 PRTY Column. The PRTY (priority) column indicates the selected priority of the area. The priority is a number
from 1 to 4. The highest priority is represented by the number 1 and the lowest priority is represented by the number 4.
1.15.4.3 MODE Column. The MODE column indicates whether the area is secure or being accessed. If the area is not
connected, "off' appears in the MODE column. When an area is selected the status of the area is displayed as either
SEC (secure) in green text or ACC (access) in yellow text. If this display is white, the data is not valid because of
communication failures or lack of communication. If COM (in red background with white text) or MOD (in white text by
more than one area) alarms have occurred notify maintenance.
1.15.4.4 POWER Column. The POWER column indicates the type of power that the area is using to operate. The
power is either the main power (AC) in green text or battery power (BAT) in yellow text. The normal power should be AC
with BAT only appearing when a power failure has occurred in the area being monitored. If COM (in red background with
white text) or MOD (in white text by more than one area) alarms have occurred notify maintenance.
1.15.4.5 ALARMS Column. The alarms column indicates the alarm status of the area. Communication failures (COM)
and alarms (ALM) are displayed with a red background with white text. Module (MOD) failures are indicated by white text
and are displayed by each area contained in the module. When an alarm occurs and is not acknowledged, the text in
this column will be flashing. The text is either upper or lower case. The upper case indicates the alarm is still valid and
lower case indicates the alarm has been cleared and ready to be reset. The text stops flashing when the alarm is
acknowledged by selecting the area and then pressing the <F1> function key. When the alarm has been acknowledged
and is displayed in lower case letters, it can be reset by pressing the <F2> function key. COM and ALM alarms are
displayed on a red background with white text.
1.15.5 Remote Area Notes Screen. The Remote Area Notes Screen (figure 1-8) provides notes for the selected area
and is divided into three sections. The area notes are entered during the setup mode by designated personnel. The
notes give specific information that pertains to the selected area. Each of the 64 areas can be selected from the
command line located at the bottom of the screen. Areas are selected by entering an area number between 1 and 64 on
the command line and pressing enter. After the area is selected the notes for the selected area are displayed on the
screen.
