4.4.4 Run a Manual Alarm Action

Manual alarm actions enable a specific action to be run by the user when an alarm occurs. This gives the operator

with the rest of the system.

1. Click

in required alarm panel when it is displayed.

If the automatic running of alarm actions has been turned off, or for some reason it is necessary to rerun a particular
action, the alarm actions can be run manually.

2. Click the alarm for which the action is to be run.
3. Click Emulate Alarm Action.

Note that this feature is only available accessing the 963 Server in graphic mode.

The actions that occur when an alarm is received can be turned ON/OFF by the user.
