following priorities:
|
When you configure the alarm priority levels, each level represents a range of alarm priorities. Metasys UI provides four default priority levels with audio files and alarm colors, as shown in the following figure. You can adjust the number of priority levels up to a maximum of 10 levels. When you define the ranges for each priority level, the first range always begins at 0. The next range begins one number higher than where the previous range stopped, up to 255.
The audio file for an alarm priority level must be listed in the Alarm settings as a Waveform Audio File Format (WAV) file. The audible alarm feature requires audio files to exist on the Metasys UI host in both a WAV format, such as .wav file extension, and an MP3 format, such as .mp3 file extension. Metasys provides four default audio files in both formats that you can use for any alarm priority level. You can also customize alarm sounds by adding your own audio files to the Metasys UI host.
- Place the custom WAV (.wav) file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Johnson Controls\MetasysIII\UI\audio
- Place the custom MP3 (.mp3) file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Johnson Controls\Metasys UI\API\Client\audio
