Audible Alarm

The TRED30-16R is fitted with a beeper, which can be turned on  
when an alarm event has been registered to provide extra feedback. 
This function is enabled or disabled when configuring the recorder 
with LogTag

®

 Analyzer, please see the 

Standard Configuration 

Options 

 on the previous page or the 

Sample Alarm Configuration 

Settings

 on the previous page.

Please note, that continual activation of the audible alarm will 
reduce the working life of the battery. When an alarm event is 
triggered, the alarm should be cleared  as soon as possible.

The alarm will sound once every four seconds for the first 24 hours. 
To preserve battery life, the interval at which the alarm sounds will 
increase to 8 seconds when the clock passes midnight after the initial 
24 hour period (i.e. the alarm will sound every 4 seconds between 24 
and 48 hours, depending on when during the day the alarm was first 
triggered). When the clock passes midnight again, the interval 
changes to 12 seconds. It will remain at 12 seconds until the alarm is 
cleared, the unit stops or is re-configured.

Note: The interval will increase, even if the alarm is re-triggered! 
Please see more information about 

Alarm Re-triggering

 on the 

previous page

The beeper will temporarily turn off when you are reviewing data.
