Room Alert Signal Tower Conguration And Setup Screens
Alarm Options
The ‘Alarm Options’ section is used to congure the light tower elements that will turn on or off in
response to an alarm or alarm cleared condition. By default, the red light turns on when an alarm occurs
and the green light turns on when an alarm clears. Both lights will remain illuminated until manually
cleared through the Status screen or via SNMP Set.
The primary advantage to keeping the lights illuminated is so it is easy to tell if an alarm occurred
during off hours or when staff is not in a location that can see the light or hear the audible alarm. If a
manager comes in on Monday morning and sees both the red and green lights illuminated, they know
immediately that an alarm occurred over the weekend that has now cleared and they should check to see
what caused the alarm. If they see only the red light illuminated, they know there is an alarm currently
in progress that should be dealt with immediately. If no lights are illuminated, they can rest assured
knowing that none of the sensors are or have been in an alarm state.
