SPC Ready to Arm - Continuous Monitoring of Active Inputs

The Ready to Arm command starts a continuous read of an intrusion area (unarmed), to identify and monitor any active inputs that are not ready for arming. You can use this command to help prepare an area for arming. Each not-ready input continues to be monitored until:

  • The input becomes ready (inactive).
  • The area is armed (Fullset or Partset command).
  • Communication with the SPC panel is interrupted
  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [SPC Network] > [SPC panel] > […] > [area].
  1. In the Extended Operation tab, select Mode.
  1. Click Ready to Arm.
    NOTE: To reach the Ready to Arm command, you may need to expand the command list under Get Status.
  • In a few seconds, if any input is active, the corresponding Not Ready event displays in Event List.
  1. Check the active inputs in Event List.
  • In the Textual Viewer or, if available, in a dedicated graphic, you get a convenient summary of the area inputs.
  1. Remove the not-ready conditions and check the changes of state of the inputs. The Ready to Arm command will continue monitoring them
  • When all inputs are in a normal condition, the system can be armed. See Arm the Intrusion Area, above.

 

Be aware that the Ready to Arm command only monitors the currently active inputs, and any subsequent change of state from normal to active is not reported until you start a new command (Get Status, Ready to Arm or Arm).
