Acknowledging Alarms
All users can receive alarms, but only users with the correct
permission can acknowledge alarms.
If an alarm is set to require alarm acknowledgement, alarms
must be acknowledged. You must be logged in to viewLinc to
acknowledge alarms.
Acknowledgement information, such as the action taken and
any comments, is tracked in the Event Log and Historical
database. For more information, see
Chapter 5: Events
and
Chapter 6: Reports
.
Alarms can also be configured so they do not require
acknowledgement. See “Setting Threshold Alarms” on
page 42, “Setting Communication Alarms” on page 45, and
“Setting Logger Alarms” on page 48 for more.
When an alarm is triggered, a new row appears in the Alarms
tab.
This section covers acknowledging alarms using the Active
Alarms tab. You can also acknowledge alarms from a large
channel view (see “Acknowledging Alarms from Large
Channel View” on page 26).
To acknowledge alarms from the alarms tab:
1
From Alarms | Active Alarms, select the active alarm,
then click
Acknowledge
.
