•
triggered states of a multistate indicator.

Alarm List PanelView terminals support an Alarm List queue to store information
on triggered alarms. The Alarm List stores a maximum of 100 alarms
or as many as the terminal can hold in nonvolatile RAM. The number
of alarms stored in the list is configured by using the PanelBuilder32
software.
The Alarm List stores the following data for each alarm:

Alarm date and time
•
Acknowledge date and time

The Alarm List is cleared:
•

when the terminal is reset or power is cycled.
The Alarm List object may appear on the Alarm Banner or other
application screens. The data that displays in the Alarm List is
configured using the PanelBuilder32 software.
