An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a terminal device operation unit which is a main part of a remote monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. A nameplate N1 indicating the name of the equipment and a selection display lamp L1 for indicating that the equipment is selected are arranged in the operation unit in a required number corresponding to the equipment requiring monitoring. Here, the nameplate N1 of the water receiving tank and the selection display lamp L1, the nameplate N2 of the air conditioner 2 and the selection display lamp L2, the air conditioner 1
No. 3 shows a name plate N3 and a selection display lamp L3. In order to select these equipments, an upward selection switch U for selecting upward from the equipment currently being selected and a downward selection switch D for selecting downward are arranged and not shown. An alarm prohibition switch S for prohibiting alarm to the central monitoring device is arranged. The operation unit of the terminal device having such a configuration and a terminal device to be described later constitute a device specifying means 10 for specifying a device for which the notification to the central monitoring device is prohibited.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the equipment specifying means 10. Now, when the worker intends to inspect the air conditioners 1 and 2, first, the equipment specifying means 10 is operated to issue an abnormal signal relating to the air conditioners 1 and 2 from the terminal device to the central monitoring device. Don't do it. That is, as shown in step 1, the worker selects the upward selection switch in order to prohibit the information of the air conditioner 1 in the terminal device from issuing an alarm during the inspection of the air conditioner to the central monitoring device. By operating the U or downward selection switch D, the selection display lamp L3 is turned on, and in step 2, the alert prohibition switch S is operated. Then, in step 3, the terminal device
The air conditioner 1 is stored as the alarm prohibition equipment. Next, the operator repeats steps 1 to 3 in order to prohibit the information of the air conditioner 2 from issuing a report. That is, by operating the upward selection switch U to light the selection display lamp L2,
By operating the alert prohibition switch S, the terminal device stores the air conditioner 2 as the alert prohibition device. In this way, if all the equipment to be inspected are prohibited from being alarmed in step 4, the worker starts the inspection work of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner 1 fails during the inspection work, the terminal device detects the failure of the air conditioner 1 in step 5, but the information of the air conditioner 1 in the terminal device is in the alert prohibition state in step 6. Therefore, the terminal device does not report the failure of the air conditioner 1 to the central monitoring device. In addition, if an abnormality occurs in the receiving tank, which is equipment that is not designated to be prohibited during the inspection work, the terminal device detects the abnormality of the receiving tank in step 5, and in step 6, the receiving tank in the terminal device. Is not in the notification prohibition state, and in step 7, the terminal device reports an abnormality of the water receiving tank to the central monitoring device.

As described above, the equipment device designating means 10 selects the equipment device to be notified from the terminal device to the central monitoring device and sets the device to the notification prohibition state. Even in the state, when an abnormality occurs in the equipment other than the designated equipment under inspection and repair, the abnormality of the equipment can be immediately reported from the terminal device to the central monitoring device.

In the above-described embodiment, the upper selection switch U and the lower selection switch D are operated to turn on the selection display lamp corresponding to the nameplate of the device whose alarm is to be inhibited, and the alarm inhibit switch S is turned on. By operating the terminal device, the terminal device stores the information.
2, registration display lamps L4, L5, and L6 are provided in parallel with L3, and by operating the alert prohibition switch S, a lit selection display lamp, for example, a registration display lamp L5 juxtaposed to the selection display lamp L3 is lit. Alternatively, the registered equipment may be displayed. In this case, the registration display lamps L4, L5, L6 are abolished, and the nameplates N1, N
2 and N3 may be displayed as lamps and displayed on the nameplate of the registered equipment. Also, in this embodiment, the upward selection switch U is used to select the equipment to be disabled.
And the downward selection switch D is provided, but a switch corresponding to each equipment may be provided.
