6.5 Clearing Alarms
Generally the alarm indications of an alarm will automatically be cleared when the
alarm condition that triggered the alarm ceases. However, you can also clear the
alarm indications or the latched alarms by the following ways.
1. Clearing audible and visual alarm indications
For some technical alarms, the audible and visual alarm indications will be cleared if
the monitor is set to the Alarms Paused status (by pressing the SILENCE key for
less than 2 seconds), and the alarm message will be changed to prompt information
during and after the alarms paused time. If the technical alarm is triggered again
after the monitor restores to the normal status, the monitor will give alarming
indications as normal.
Please refer to
Appendix C Alarm Messages and Prompt Information
to see for
which technical alarms that the audible and visual indications can be cleared.
2. Clearing all alarm indications
For some technical alarms, if the monitor is set to the Alarms Paused status (by
pressing the SILENCE key for less than 2 seconds), all alarm indications will be
cleared during and after the alarms paused time. If the technical alarm is triggered
again after the monitor restores to the normal status, the monitor gives alarming
indications as normal.
Please refer to
Appendix C Alarm Messages and Prompt Information
to see for
which technical alarms that all alarm indications can be cleared.
3. Clearing latched alarms
Clearing latched alarms is also referred to as resetting alarms. It refers to clear the
latched alarms by setting the monitor to the Alarms Paused status (by pressing the
