Alarm Log
If log entries cannot be displayed on one screen, a scroll bar will be present on the right-hand side
to view a limited number of earlier entries.
There is a limit on how many entries can be displayed by the EMS Alarm Log. Where necessary,
export the log file to an external
USB memory stick
to view all entries on a
PC
(see below).
An Alarm will occur when a water leak or a cable break is detected. The
Alarm Log
is a historical record of
Alarms and responses and actions taken as a result of those Alarms.
