Event Relays Definition (Global/KT-NCC Gateways)

This menu is used to associate events that will trigger relays. You can also specify that the relay be triggered only during a specific schedule and if the relay will be activated, deactivated or temporarily activated. For instance, you can define a relay to be activated when an alarm system is armed. You can for example set the relay to turn off all the lights, etc.

Events are generated for various reasons. They can be generated to report such events as:

•   Unauthorized access

•   Intrusion

•   Defective components

•   Modified components

•   Guard tour status (for example that a guard has not reached the next station), etc.

Defining Event Relays

1 - From the Definition tab, click the Event relay button.

2 - From the Gateway  list, select a gateway, then select an event  to which you want to associate a relay. System components associated with the selected event appear in the left-hand pane.

3 - Select the component you want to associate with the event, then select the relay  you want to activate when the selected event occurs.

4 - For the selected relay or group of relays, choose the Relay activation mode :

•   Temporarily activated : The relay will be temporarily activated for the delay defined in the Temporary activation timer  field of the relay definition.

•   Activated : The relay will activate permanently until requested otherwise by the system.

•   Deactivated : The relay will deactivate permanently until requested otherwise by the system.

5 - Select the Activation schedule : The relay will ONLY be triggered when the schedule is VALID. In other words, when the event is generated and the schedule is valid, the event will trigger the relay, if the schedule is not valid, the event will not trigger the relay.

Printing Event Relay

This menu is used to print the parameters for a specific event.

1 - From the Event relay  window, click the Printer button.

2 - Select the event for which you want to print the associated parameters.

3 - From the Gateway drop down list, select the gateway for which you want to print event parameters.

4 - Select components associated with the selected events: Events are usually associated with a system component, such as a door, controller, alarm partition, workstation, etc. For example, if you select the event “Input in alarm”, the component selection will display all the inputs that are defined in your system. Select the input you want to print (you can select all components, use the “check mark” button).
