Alarm Call-Out
SECTION 11:
WCC III ALARMING
__________________________________________
Alarm Call-Out
The WCC III - MCD will automatically E-mail an alarm or alarms
to an E-mail address or to multiple E-mail addresses. There are
eight different alarm types or alarm classes - each with their own
priorities. Only the fi rst fi ve alarm types or classes can “E-mail
out”; each of these fi ve alarm types can E-mail up to 12 separate
E-mail addresses. You could also send an E-mail to Text message
your cell phone, depending on your service plan with your cellular
phone provider.
ANALOG INPUT SCREEN
Analog Alarm Limit
Each analog input on a satellite can have a low and high limit
assigned to it on the Analog Input Screen. If the value of the analog
input falls below the low limit or rises above the high limit, the
system automatically generates an alarm.
For example, assume that the analog input in question is a
room temperature sensor located in an offi ce space. If the space
temperature falls below 68 °F or rises above 80 °F during the
occupied period, we want an alarm to be generated. To set up the
alarm limits, fi rst sign on by accessing the System Parameters
Screen and entering your password. An access level of 1 or greater
is required to enter or change alarm limits. An access level of 2 or
greater is required to enter or change what the alarm is controlled
by, the alarm type, and the alarm messages. After you are signed
on, return to the Main Menu, place the cursor over “ANALOG
INPUT” and press <Enter>. Then place the cursor over one of the
eight analog inputs and press <Enter>. An Analog Input Screen
similar to what is shown in Figure 1 1-1 should come into view:

Run Time Alarm
The alarm limits along with the alarm type and alarm message
numbers are assigned on this screen (see the Analog Input Screen
in Section 3 of this guide for more information). If the space
temperature drifts out of the entered alarm limits, the system will
automatically generate an alarm. For example, assume that the
space temperature rises above the high limit value of 80 °F . Alarm
message #1 (High T emperature) along with the time and date of the
alarm and the high peak value of the room temperature will appear
on the Analog Input Summary Screen and the Alarm Summary
Screen. Within one minute from the time the alarm appears on the
screen, it will automatically be e-mailed if enabled.
To acknowledge alarms, select <Action> from the Top Menu Bar
and then select <Acknowledge Alarm> or <Acknowledge All
Alarm> described in the Action Menu, Analog Input Summary
Screen, and Alarm Summary Screen in Section 3 - Screen
Descriptions.
NOTE: The <Acknowledge All Alarms> option will
only work on the Alarm Summary Screen.
Run Time Alarm
The WCC III system also has the capability of alarming if the total
ON time of a binary (on/off) value has exceeded the run time alarm
limit. T o assign a run time alarm limit, fi rst sign on by accessing the
System Parameter Screen and entering your password. An access
level of 2 or greater is required to enter or change alarm limits.
After you are signed on, return to the Main Menu and place the
cursor over “TREND LOGS” and press <Enter>. The Trend Log
Summary Screen should come into view. To access a Run Time
Trend Logging Screen, use the arrow keys to place the cursor (>)
by the desired run time point and press <Enter>. The following
screen should come into view (Figure 1 1-2):
In this example screen, we are recording the total “ON” time of
contact KlH (COM to H contact closure) on satellite controller
#1. When contact KlH is closed, or “ON”, Fan #1 runs. Run time
recorder #1 records total accumulated run time of the fan. Alarm
message #7 (Grease Bearings) will automatically appear on the
Alarm Summary Screen when the total accumulated run time of
the fan exceeds 500 hours. Within one minute after the alarm
appears on the screen, it will automatically e-mail if enabled. (See
the Alarm Summary Screen in Section 3 for information about
how to acknowledge a run time alarm, and see the Run Time Trend
Logging Screen in Section 3 for information about how to reset the
accumulated run time to zero.)

Alarm Logs
Satellite SOS Alarm
If the Master Communications Device loses communications
with a satellite controller, a Satellite SOS Alarm on the Satellite
Summary Screen will state which satellite is out of service.
TUC TOS Alarm
If for some reason the SA T3C/D/F controller loses communications
with its loop of TUC controllers, then the Satellite will report
back to the WCC III – MCD that there are TUCs OFF SYSTEM
with a TOS alarm on the Satellite Summary Screen. There is a
series of minus’s (-) and asterisks (*) that show which TUCs
are communicating. The minus’s (-) represent missing or nonexistent TUCs and the asterisks (*) are TUCs that are currently
communicating.
WCC III Auto System Logging
The WCC III auto system logging features are logged by the
Backtask.exe program, and these log fi les are then stored on the
hard drive of the WCC III - MCD. These log fi les may then be
retrieved by using the WCCUtility.exe program. The WCC III
automatic system logging features are defi ned as the following:
System Log, Alarm Log, Data Log, Acknowledge Alarms Log,
System Event Log, and MCD Comm Error Log. These log fi les
are described in detail in Section 5.
WCC III System Alarm Log
The WCC III System will automatically log an alarm, the alarm
type, and the date and time at which the alarm occurred.
WCC III System Data Log
The WCC III System will automatically log any data point that
has been changed or overridden, the logged in operator ID that
changed it, and the date and time that it was changed.
WCC III System Acknowledge Alarm
Log
The WCC III System will automatically log all alarms that have
been acknowledged, the logged in operator ID that acknowledged
the alarm(s), and the time and date of the acknowledgement.
WCC III System Event Log
The WCC III System will automatically log system events such as
new connections through the internet, when a internet connection
is closed, E-mails sent out, and satellites found or lost on the Comm
loop.
WCC III MCD Communication Error Log
WCC III System Log
The WCC III system will automatically log the operator ID,
IP address, time, and date when an operator signs on or off the
system.
The WCC III System will automatically log all communication
errors between the MCD and the satellites on the communication
loop.
