Viewing events
The events represent the various conditions signaled by the panel and have the following order
importance: alarm, pre-alarm, fault, early warning, bypass, test and monitor. The system displays
information regarding real-time events of major importance and disregards those of minor importance
(e.g.: if the system is dealing with three fault events when a pre-alarm event occurs, the fault events will
be disregarded and cleared from the display and the pre-alarm will take priority). All events are saved to
the log and can be viewed.
