8.3 Remote control via a terminal
For the remote control of a controller, it makes no difference whether this is done with a system centre (A),
a store computer or with an operator terminal (B) as the user interfaces on the terminals are almost identical
and the same functions are available. See chapter
Calling the controller menu via remote control
about remote control.
The system centre only emulates the "hardware front" of its "store computer" predecessor or of the operator
terminal by software on its touchscreen which is demonstrated by the following comparison between the
terminals of the CI 4x00 and CI 3x00 / AL 300:
(1) CI 4x00: "Alarms and messages" button in the main menu for display of whether alarms are pending. Alarms
are acknowledged in the "alarm list".
CI 3x00 / AL 300:Red LED signal lamps to indicate whether alarms are pending.
(2) CI 4x00: "Horn" button in the main menu for muting of the buzzer and for reset of the AUX relay.
CI 3x00 / AL 300: Button for muting of the buzzer, for reset of the AUX relay* and for acknowledgement of
alarms.
(3) Display (4 lines x 20 characters) for display of the menu of the controller.
(4)

in their operating manuals.
