2.5 Accepting and Clearing Alarms
The operation of alarms in terms of how they are cleared is dependent upon the alarm type and also
the conguration option, which can be changed via Portables Pro 2.0.
The options are ‘latched’ and ‘non-latching’ and the functionality is described in the table below.

Alarm 2 cannot be congured and behaves as a latched alarm.
