OneVue Notify InfoBoards digitally display critical notifications, synchronized time, and general messaging. InfoBoards can also operate as a scheduled countdown, code blue, and elapsed timer. When not displaying a critical notification, InfoBoards display synchronized time, general messaging, and non-critical events (elapsed and scheduled timer events).
The following sections provide an overview of these events, from requirements, configuring, to activating events displayed on InfoBoards.
A Critical Notification displayed on InfoBoards is either activated by the five-button Critical Notification Panel or the integration with a third-party system. Both methods require a hardwired interface connection to the main Transmitter contact closure terminal block. The contact closure terminal block contacts are configured to be Normally Open (NO) by default and can be configured to be Normally Closed (NC). For example if configured as NO, when a closed input is received to any of the terminal inputs a critical notification event is activated for the specific input.
When a critical notification event is activated from the main Transmitter, the event is immediately transmitted over the 72MHz wireless radio frequency and the event is received by all InfoBoards and Repeater Transmitters. When the All Clear event is activated, the InfoBoards display the All Clear event for a specified number of minutes and then return to displaying synchronized time and non-critical events. Time, date, and general messaging are non-critical events. InfoBoards can also display a scheduled countdown prior to the start of a period and function as a code blue and elapsed timer.
When a critical notification event is in effect it takes priority and a previous non-critical event will run in the background until the critical notification event has ended (All Clear event).
If a code blue event is active during a critical notification event the code blue event continues to be displayed. For the Large and Medium InfoBoards, the code blue event is displayed on the second line. For the MiniBoard, the code blue event is only displayed on the second line as ***** due to its display size.

InfoBoards store a critical notification profile that contains the five critical notification event types. By default, these events are preset by Primex. Events can be customized with a OneVue Notify Monitor subscription and each InfoBoard requires an Ethernet connection. When customized, InfoBoards download the OneVue critical notification profile that replaces the Primex preset notification events. By default an InfoBoard downloads setting changes every 5 minutes, which is set in its Config Change Interval setting.
Any customization requires assistance from Primex Technical Support, which will include providing an updated label affixed to the Critical Notification Panel.

InfoBoards can also operate as a Scheduled Countdown Timer to display a countdown to begin before the start of a school period. Countdown events are set from the Bell/Timer Schedule assigned to the InfoBoard Group.
Requires a OneVue Notify Monitor subscription and InfoBoard must be connected to Ethernet network.
Countdown events are activated by the Bell/Timer Schedule assigned to an InfoBoard Group.

InfoBoards can operate as an Elapsed Timer with both count up and count down options. The three-button Timer Control Switch allows a user to start, pause, stop, and reset the count events, and set an event to begin at a specific time increment. When not in an active count event, an InfoBoard displays synchronized time and general messaging.
To allow logged events to be transmitted to OneVue, a OneVue Notify Monitor subscription is required and InfoBoard must be connected to Ethernet network.
Events are activated from the three-button Timer Control Switch connected to an InfoBoard.
InfoBoard Group sets if a ring type is emitted at an elapsed timer stop event. Applies to Large and Medium InfoBoard only.

An InfoBoard can operate as a Code Blue Timer with its integration to an existing code blue system. A code blue event is activated from the code blue system and the code blue event is displayed on the InfoBoard. An end user can halt (stop) a code blue event from the three-button Timer Control Switch. When not in an active code blue event, the InfoBoard displays synchronized time and general messaging.
To allow logged events to be transmitted to OneVue, a OneVue Notify Monitor subscription is required and InfoBoard must be connected to Ethernet network.
Requires Notify Elapsed Timer and Code Blue Conversion Kit.
Events are activated through the integration with an existing code blue system and the three-button Timer Control Switch connected to an InfoBoard.
When a critical notification is displayed (active) at the same time a code blue event is active, the code blue event continues to be displayed. Large and Medium InfoBoards display the code blue event below the critical notification event and a MiniBoard displays the code blue event as **** due to its limited display size.
