Major and Minor alarms can be cleared by pressing the Reset button on the front-panel interface while
the Alarms screen is being displayed or through BESTCOMSPlus. Alarms cannot be reset through the
web page interface.
Pressing the front-panel Reset key clears the alarms and the Major Alarm or Minor Alarm LED.
Depending on device security setup, a username and password may be required to reset alarms at the
front panel. Logging in is not required if the Unsecured Access Level is set to Operator or higher, as long
as no other port has access higher than Read. Alarm reset can also be set outside of security control,
allowing reset without logging in. Refer to the Security chapter for more information.
An alarm reset is available as a status input in BESTlogicPlus. Refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter for
more information.
