SFCD: Federal Commander Digital System - Federal Signal

Send
Federal Commander Digital System
Transmits the information as configured on the Function, SmartMsg and Encode tab. Encodes
will be sent first, followed by the digital Function command. A confirmation message will be
displayed after making this selection:
Cancel All
Clicking this button will cancel the sounding of all sirens.
Quit
Clicking on this button closes the manual activation screen.
Siren Graphic
Sound waves will emit from the siren graphic to inform the user that an activation command has
been sent. This will occur for the duration programmed in the Functions list box of the System
Setup screen. This may not necessarily be the actual duration of siren sounding, which is
programmed for each individual siren.
Function Tab
The function tab allows the configuration of a digital activation function.
Individual
The individual list box contains a list of all sites in your system. Selected individual sites will be
sounded sequentially (one at a time). There is a time delay involved as SFCDWARE sends an
activation signal to each site (RTU) individually. If it is desired to activate a large number of
sirens without a time delay, it is recommended to use Zone or All Call.
Zone Group A
Zone Group B
Zone Group A and Zone Group B contain preconfigured zones. Zones are a grouping of sites
defined using the Zone Setup dialog. Zone activations are sent as a single transmission to all
sites within the zone.
All Call
To select all sites in your system click the Add All button. “All Sirens” will be displayed in the
destination list. All Call is sent as a single transmission to all sites in your system.
