Alarm Relay Status

The Alarm Relay Status window is an automatic notification window that appears if the microscan software cannot update the alarm relays.
The update could be because of an alarm that needed to be output, or an automatic relay update that is set to happen at regular intervals.

If you see this window, you should take action, as it could be an indicator that your alarm system will not work.

This display will disappear automatically when a relay update succeeds, or it can be manually closed by clicking close.

The following window is shown if you manually close the window:

Note: If the autorelay update is set to off or a slow rate, it will be switched to a one minute update rate in an effort to increase the comms to the relay station. Once the good relay comms has been found, it will be returned to its previous setting.

The settings for this window are setup in Alarm Menu, Alarm Settings.

Note: The Alarm Relay Status dialog box monitors the communications to the station.
It will not advise if a relay on the station is not working as it is not possible to monitor this information.
