Vigilante Annunciator Alarm Sequence


FULL SEQUENCE DESCRIPTIONS

The following section describes the operation of the various sequences available in the Vigilante® alarm annunciator.

Features

Acknowledge Pushbutton: Momentary alarms will not clear until the alarmed channels have been acknowledged with the ACK pushbutton. This will also reset the first out indication. Used in all ISA sequences.

Automatic Reset: Acknowledged momentary alarms will clear automatically when the inputs return to normal. The automatic reset is present in all automatic (A) sequences.

First-Out Indication: The sequence provides a distinct visual indication for the first channel to alarm.

First-Out Reset Pushbutton: Resets the first-out display and assigns the first-out channel to display as a subsequent alarm without any other changes to the sequence. The next alarm input will be a new first-out alarm. Used only in sequence F3A.

Reset Pushbutton: Acknowledged momentary alarms will only clear when reset with the RESET pushbutton. Used in any manual reset (M) sequence.



Sequence Condition Descriptions

The following terms are used in describing the sequence behavior in the following tables:

Alert: The input is in alarm state, and the channel has not been acknowledged with the ACK pushbutton.

Acknowledge: The alarm state is acknowledged with the ACK pushbutton. This will restart the first-out indication.

First Out Reset (F3A Only): The RESET pushbutton is used to reset the first-out indication only.

Normal: Inputs are in the normal state.

LED Condition Descriptions

1st Pt: Indicates the behavior of the first-out channel only.

Next Pt: The behavior of subsequent alarm channels; channels that enter the alarm state after the first-out alarm.
