Manual Operations on Inputs

This dialog allows you to bring an input back to its normal state, or to stop monitoring an input, or monitor a specific input at all times, or to perform a temporary shunt on a selected input, if it had been previously modified from its original state as setup in the Device menu.

Icon	Definition
	Input normal: returns an input to its normal state as setup in the Device menu.
	Input continuous supervision: will monitor the selected input at all times.
	Input with no supervision will terminate the input monitoring, regardless of its schedule, and will start monitoring with the next pre-defined schedule.
	Input no supervision temporarily (Shunt): will stop input monitoring for a pre-set period of time.

Note...

A hint is displayed when you move your cursor over a button. It gives details about the operation to be performed.

Performing Manual Operations on Inputs

1 - From the Operation window, select the Input button.

2 - Click the Enable animation button to view a real-time display of the relay status.

• The left-hand pane displays the list of all Sites/Gateways. You may select All or select one connection/gateway.

• The individual input associated with the connection/gateway selected on the left are displayed in the top right side of the pane. If you select All on the left, all inputs in the system will be listed on the right. You can select one, several or all inputs.

• Input groups associated to the connection/gateway selected on the left are displayed at the bottom right side of the pane. If you select All on the left, all input groups in the system will be listed at the bottom right. You can select one or several or all input groups.

Note...

The Input Group bottom panel is available only to the selected site or to a selected connection not linked to a site.

Returning an Input to Its Normal State Manually

This option is used in cases where an input status has been modified by an operator and you want to return the input to its normal state. For example, if an input is assigned a monitoring schedule in its definition and an operator has reversed the state of the input making it “not supervised”, it can be returned to its normal state using this button.

1 - Select an input or a group of inputs.

2 - Click the Input normal button . The selected input returns to its normal state as defined in the Device menu.

Setting Up Continuous Input Supervision

You will use this feature to monitor an input at all times. This option can only be setup manually.

1 - Select an input or a group of inputs.

2 - Click the Input continuous supervision button.

Stopping Monitoring an Input

You will use this option to terminate the input supervision, regardless of its schedule (if defined).

1 - Select an input or a group of inputs.

2 - Click Input no supervision . The selected input will not be monitored.

Stopping Input Supervision (Shunt) Temporarily

You will use this option when you want the system to bypass a specific input, for a specific period of time.

1 - To temporarily shunt an input, select the input, then click the Temporarily shunt button. The input will not be monitored temporarily.

2 - Click Input no supervision temporarily. The Change delay on action dialog will popup.

3 - Enter the New time delay (m:ss) and click OK . An button next to the input will indicate that it is temporarily shunt. If an alarm occurs, or if the input is disconnected, no message will be sent to the desktop Message list.
