User Guide | Alarm Logger, AK-SM 800AL
Introduction
The AK-SM 800AL Alarm Logger is designed to complement a
Danfoss System Manager 800 application, where a dedicated
alarm receiver solution is required. The Danfoss AK-SM 800AL has
been designed for simplicity of setup and daily use, taking advantage of a new touch screen user interface.
The AK-SM 800AL is intended to be part of the System Manager
host network, utilizing IP/Ethernet communications between all
units. Alarms raised at any System Manager 800 can be forwarded/routed to the alarm logger for action and escalation by store
staff.
System requirements
To ensure correct function and operation, the following system
requirements must be met;
• AK-SM 800AL will only function with System Manager 800 units
• Minimum software requirement for AK-SM 800 units is 08.06x
and above
• Master unit (net address 0) must be available on the host network
• Host SM800 network must be established between AK-SM 800
units and available for AK-SM 800AL

Principle of operation
The AK-SM 800AL has been designed with store personnel in
mind, providing an easy to use and consolidated touch screen
alarm console for your Danfoss System Manager 800 application.
The main purpose of the AK-SM 800AL is to provide clear notification when an alarm occurs from any of the connected System
Managers and offers the ability to acknowledge alarms, via an
easy to use touch screen. The AK-SM 800AL also provides additional alert functionality via the use of local siren and alarm relay,
which can be used for added security and peace of mind.
If configured to do so, the AK-System Manager units in the store
will route alarms to the AK-SM 800AL. The alarm routing to the
logger is in addition to any routing already configured in the AKSystem Manager(s).
• Each AK-SM 800 unit has alarm action options to route any / all
alarms to the AK-SM 800AL
• Acknowledging an alarm at the AK-SM 800AL will also acknowledge the alarm at the relevant System Manager
• Set as default ‘active’ but user configurable, the AK-SM 800AL will
show red front LED and buzzer when active alarm received
• Network indicator shows status of host network. Failures in host
network will result in red indicator and visible screen saver icon
• Screen saver is activated after 5 minutes of no user input or immediately after logging out. The screen saver will show a 'live'
alarm status icon if active or acknowledged alarms are present in
the system, else the screen will go blank
• Two alarm status screens, showing ‘Current & Acknowledged’ and
‘Cleared’
• New alarm type filter (default all selected), ‘Refrigeration’, ‘HVAC’,
Lighting’, Other’
• Simple alarm info shown in alarm screen, additional information
shown via icon
• Each action taken by the authorized user is captured in the AKSM 800AL audit trail
• The AK-SM 800AL offers a ‘reminder alert’ (user configurable), to
ensure alarms that are still active in the system for x minutes are
re-triggered locally (buzzer will be re-triggered)
Installation
The mounting location should be flat, dry and free of major vibrations. The AK-SM 800AL should be mounted at eye level and with
consideration to ensure easy touch screen operation. Please refer
to the included Instructions, provided in the product packaging
for additional details on mounting and initial installation.
The AK-SM 800AL must be connected to a IP host network with
at least one other AK-SM 800 unit (running minimum 08.06x
software or above).
Note: The AK-SM 800AL has a fixed host network address of 9,
the position of the rotary host address switch is not used for the
AK-SM 800AL.
