Battry
System alarm events are logged in memory and displayed with the time
elapsed since the alarm occurred. Multiple alarms from the same device
are logged only once, with the time stamp updated for each new repeat
alarm.
In DISARMED mode, press OFF to step through the log. Once all
logged alarms have been displayed, pressing OFF will clear the display.
Pressing OFF again will redisplay the first event in the log, etc.
Entries in the log will cleared only when the cause of the alarm has
been rectified, or when power is turned off using the key switch.
The alarm event log will store up to 5 events. If the log is full, logging a
new event causes the oldest event to be discarded. Events older than
100 days will be discarded.
A time stamp is appended to each event when displayed. For example,
if the alarm occurred within 24 hours, the time stamp is appended as: ...
< 2 HRS < 15 MIN < AGO; for events older than 24 hours: ... < 1 DAY <
13 HRS < AGO.
