8.4 Controlling alarms
There are four ways of controlling alarms:
• Acknowledge (i.e. silence) it when it occurs.
•
Switch it off, so that it is never triggered.
• Alter thresholds so that it occurs more frequently or less frequently.
• Alter the volume of the audio alarm.
Switching alarms off, changing thresholds or volume
See Section 5.3.7 - Settings - Alarm Settings.
Note: To test the alarms, run Demo mode (see section 13.5) and wait until an alarm is triggered. All
Alarms are of Medium priority and so any input will provide confirmation of a working Alarm system.
