SFCD: Federal Commander Digital System - Federal Signal

Federal Commander Digital System
Displays the function running at the time of the last poll. If no function is running, STANDBY is
displayed.
Last Function RTU
Displays the last function sounded by this RTU. The status of latched sensors (current, rotation,
pressure, failed to sound) reflects the conditions of the siren as a result of the Last Function. If
not function has sounded since a Master Reset, Standby will be displayed.
Last Function Base
Displays the last function activated by the base.
Note: If the Last Function base is not „Standby‟, a Failed to Sound alarm will be asserted if one of
the following conditions is met:
1. Last Function Base and Last Function RTU do not agree
2. The times disagree by more than 90 minutes
RTU Time
During each poll, the RTU‟s time clock is synchronized with the base computer or SS2000D. The
current setting of the RTU‟s embedded clock is reported back to the base before this update
occurs. This allows the system administrator to monitor the system time clock synchronization.
The RTU Time should normally be within a few minutes of the base station's time during the last
poll. If not, a possible synchronization problem exists. It is important to maintain system time
clock synchronization. RTU‟s that are out of the time sync window (90 minutes) will not sound.
Anytime the time synchronization becomes more than 45 minutes out of agreement, a Sync Fail
alarm will be logged.
