Communication Programming
Use the following section to program various communication features on your MG/SP control panel. Table 34 lists features available for each MG/SP control panel.
Prioritization of signals and messages are based on a “first in, first out” scheme. Systems meet EN 50136 ATS2 or ATS3 requirements when configured as depicted.
NOTE: For increased security, it is suggested that redundant communication methods be installed.
