One alarm action can consist of several triggers and lead to several actions.
The actions can be repeated at a regular time interval as long as an input is
active.
Input
An input on the UPAC or an input on an Alarm Module connected to the A-
bus.

the A-bus.
Trigger
A trigger is a set of conditions that have to be fulfilled, for example that an
input has to be open for a certain time period or that an alarm has been
sent from a handset.
Several triggers of the same type can be defined for each alarm action. The
actions will be carried out when any of the triggers is fulfilled.
Action

Escalation
If a message with confirmation request has not been accepted within the
set number of seconds, an escalation action can be started. If several
messages were sent the escalation will be cancelled as soon as one of them
is accepted. Up to three escalation levels are possible.
