Power Up Sequence
On unit power up the Network Failure icon will appear while the unit is establishing a connection to the Synergy Server. See Figure 321 below:
Figure 321
Once a connection is established, the IMC logo will display while the ARB is downloading alarm screens from the Synergy Server.
The OLED display turns off after a minute of keypad inactivity, (no key presses), to conserve display life; the unit will continue to update it's alarm display screens as normal whilst the display is off.
Displaying Alarm Screens
The ARB Module will display alarms for sensors associated with the specified unit; see the Sensors section.
•If the display has turned off, press any key to turn on the OLED display.
•If there are no alarms to display, the ARB Unit will show the No Alarms icon. See Figure 322 below:
Figure 322
When the unit has alarm(s) available to display on the screen, the red alarm LED will flash approximately twice per second.
Pressing the Up and Down arrows will turn the display on and also cycle through the main alarm screens for each transmitter in alarm; once the display is on the unit will automatically cycle through each available main alarm screen, changing screens approximately every five seconds.
Each main alarm screen shows the transmitter name and an overview of the alarm condition. See Figure 323 below:
