How will the Signature System tell me when a disturbance or other important event occurs?
The InfoNode handles the Signature System alarm notification function. Currently, there are methods of notification, from which the user can select the preferred method: 1. Pager: The alphanumeric or numeric page contains alarm details to a list of recipients. To prevent nuisance pages when more than one problem occurs at the same time, pages are aggregated over a short time period, allowing one page to be sent in the place of multiple pages. 2. E-mail: The e-mail format is similar to pager notification, but the e-mail typically is more descriptive since an e-mail can be of larger size than a page message. Hyperlinks to event details also are available through e-mail. 3. Contact Closure: A contact closure adapter for connection to an InfoNode COM port via 4 solid-state dry contacts is available. The user selects the combination of contacts to close upon an alarm, allowing for simple encoding of messages to 3rd part SCADA, HMT, BMS or other systems.
