Monitor Discrete Alarms
Get the Most Information From Your Discrete Alarms
Discrete alarms are typically used to monitor door alarms, power outages, equipment failures, and other on/off conditions that can be signaled by contact closures. Because they directly indicate the status of vital equipment, discrete alarms (also called contact closures or digital inputs) are the most common type of remote monitoring alarm.
To get the best quality visibility of your discrete alarms, a remote telemetry unit should support categorizing alarms by their location, time, and severity (Critical, Major, Minor, or Status). A fully capable remote will include all this information in an alarm report.
