Programming Analog Alarms
The COPY function key is used to copy information from one analog alarm
to another. To begin the COPY operation, place the cursor on the alarm
which will be copied. Once the cursor is positioned, press the COPY (F4)
function key. The following prompt appears:
COPY FROM ALARM {alarm number} TO: 001
Type the number of the destination alarm over the number given on the
screen. If you do not wish to continue with the COPY operation, use the
ABORT (F1) function key. This terminates the operation.
Once the destination number for the analog alarm is typed, press the
Return key to begin the operation. The alarm will be copied to the specified
destination number unless an alarm already exists at that number. In this
case, the following prompt will appear:
ALARM DATA {alarm destination number} ALREADY EXISTS
The available function keys change to an ABORT for the F1 function key
and a REPLACE for the F2 function key. The ABORT function key stops the
present attempt to copy and allows entry of another alarm number. The
REPLACE function key will cause the COPY operation to continue, which
results in the information in the destination alarm being overwritten.
The DEL (DELete) function key removes the information for an alarm. To
begin the DEL operation, place the cursor on the alarm number to be
deleted. Once the cursor is positioned, press the DEL (F5) function key. The
following prompt appears:
DELETE ALARM {number} : ARE YOU SURE
The functions shown at the bottom of the screen will change to a NO for the
F1 function key and a YES for the F2 function key. If the NO function key is
pressed, the DEL operation halts. If the YES function key is pressed, the
DEL operation proceeds.
