Controls, Indicators and Alarms

Auditory Indicators/Signals

The SDM provides the following auditory signals:

• Auditory alarm signals for high, medium and low priority

alarm conditions (p.

); use the parameter ‘Alarm Volume’

to adjust the volume of these signals.

• The ‘AUDIO OFF Reminder’ (short signal tone) sounds every

60 seconds if the auditory alarm signals are permanently
switched off. Operator access to switch off this reminder
signal is subject to institution’s permission; its volume is not
adjustable.

• The ‘Auditory Power On Self Test Signal’ (three short tones)

sounds during the ‘Power On Self Test’; its volume is not
adjustable.

• The ‘Ready for use’ Beep (short tone) sounds at the end of a

successful calibration of a SenTec TC Sensor. This signal can
only be switched ON/OFF by the institution; its volume is not
adjustable.

• The Key Click (short tone) indicates that a button has been

properly pressed; use the parameter Key Click to switch off/
adjust the volume of this signal.

LED Indicators

The following visual LED indicators are located on the front
panel of the SDM:

AUDIO
PAUSED/
AUDIO OFF
Indicator

• Yellow LED: Auditory alarm signals paused for

1 or 2 minutes

• Yellow LED flashes: Auditory alarm signals

permanently switched off (activated by pressing
AUDIO PAUSED/AUDIO OFF Button > 3 seconds)

• LED OFF: Auditory signals either active or per-

manently switched off by setting menu parameter
‘Alarm Settings/Alarm Volume’ to OFF.

ON/OFF
Indicator

• Green: SDM turned on

• LED OFF: SDM turned off

AC Power/
Battery
Indicator

• Green LED: Connected to AC power, battery fully

charged

• Yellow LED: Connected to AC power, battery

charging

• LED OFF: Not connected to AC power (i.e. pow-

ered by internal battery)

Note: The AC Power/Battery Indicator works irre-
spective of whether the SDM is switched on or off.
