Back         Alarm Groups

RF500 Alarm Groups are simply a logical or administrative grouping of transmitters for the purpose of filtering and directing notifications. These Alarm Groups may correspond to the physical siting of transmitters but more usually group transmitters monitoring equipment or environments “owned” by an individual person or department.

A transmitter must be allocated to a single Alarm Group, but it can be changed at any time without reprogramming its Task.

The RF500 Gateway provides 32 Alarm Groups which can be individually named to aid recognition.

The administration of Alarm Groups can only be performed by an Administrator. When logged on to the Gateway select Administration then the Alarm Groups from the list. A dialogue box will open, see below, and from here the Alarm Groups can be setup.
