Appliance Base                       

Access the Appliance Base's Default Properties Page below via the Initiating Device's (or another AlarmCAD for AutoCAD device requiring a base) main Properties Page.

The Appliance Base dialog holds description, current, cost, and appearance information for those AlarmCAD for AutoCAD appliances requiring bases, such as the initiator.

Select by Categories

Users can select the base by its Parts Number in the drop-down menu. Alternatively, users can filter the base by its Type, Description, and Size, if applicable. Notice how the parts number corresponds to the choices made in the other categories.

Base Current

Assign the base's standby and/or alarm current values within this dialog box.  The default values are shown on the left. The 'Reset' button will restore the default standby and base current values. Any standby and/or alarm current values previously entered in the Parts Database can be overridden using this dialog box.

 

Costs & Appearance

For those including appliance base and labor costs in Stock Listing or other reports, values are assigned in the Costs dialog box, shown at left. This may look familiar to the Appliance Material Page for other appliances.

The Subscript field accommodates up to ten characters or digits. Entries in this field display below the base in the drawing. Any modifications here can be reset to default value, which is nil.

Cut Sheet

Click the Cut Sheet button at the bottom of the dialog to open an Adobe Reader .pdf file with the manufacturer's specifications.
