When an alarm activates the associated event is displayed on the Alarms screen (Control menu,
Alarms) and one or more of the following occurs, depending on how the alarm is configured
(contact your service representative to reconfigure alarm outputs):

the instrument’s internal alarm sounds;

the LOCAL ALARM connection turns on, triggering any connected alarm (see 2.7 Alarm
Connections);

the REMOTE ALARM connection turns on, triggering any connected alarm (see 2.7 Alarm
Connections);

a dialog box (popup) opens in the software displaying the alarm message.
Active alarms can be cleared (i.e. turned off) on the Alarms screen. If an alarm has triggered a
popup it can also be cleared from the popup.
Alarms can also be “silenced” from the Alarms screen and alarm popups. This turns off the
instrument internal alarm and closes the popup, but the local and remote alarms remain on until
the alarm is cleared. This allows an operator at the instrument to continue to use the software,
without the alarm sounding, while the external alarms continue in order to bring assistance.
The internal, local, and remote alarms have one of two “on” states: Momentary triggers the alarm
once only, while Repetitive continues the alarm until it is cleared or, for the internal alarm only,
silenced.

To clear or silence an active alarm in the Alarms screen tap the Activated cell for the alarm
event and tap Off or Silenced.
Off stops all alarm outputs and removes the event from the Alarms screen.
Silenced silences the internal alarm, but the alarm is still active on the Alarms screen.

To clear or silence an alarm in an alarm popup select the event in the table of alarm events
(there may be more than one alarm active at once) and tap Clear or Silence.
Clear stops all alarm outputs and removes the event from the popup (and Alarms screen).
The popup closes if there is only one alarm event.
Silence silences the internal alarm, but the alarm is still active on the Alarms screen. The
popup closes if there is only one alarm event.
If there is more than one alarm event in a popup you can use Clear all or Silence all to clear
or silence all the alarms at once.
