Pre-silencing alarms
This function allows you to pre-silence (audio
pause in advance) potential alarm conditions
before they occur. Pre-silencing allows you to
concentrate on a procedure without being
interrupted by continuous acoustic alarm signals
arising from potential alarm conditions.
A pre-silence period lasts two minutes.
Pre-silencing alarms has the following effect:
– Any alarm conditions are reported optically by a
corresponding alarm message and a blinking
parameter field (see page 112).
– The alarm message Audio paused appears in
the far right field of the header bar along with a
timer and the following symbol:
– A single acoustic alarm signal is generated for
the first occurrence of an alarm condition of low,
medium or high alarm priority. For subsequent
alarm conditions of equal alarm priority, no
further acoustic alarm signals are generated.
Only for subsequent alarm conditions of higher
alarm priority, a single acoustic alarm signal is
generated.
– If multiple alarm conditions arise during an
active pre-silence period, the Cockpit triggers a
single acoustic alarm signal for the alarm
condition corresponding to the highest priority.
The Cockpit remains silent for any subsequent
alarm conditions of equal or lower alarm priority.
Initiating a pre-silence period
You can initiate a pre-silence in several ways:
– From the Cockpit
– From an M540 on wireless transport
– From an ICS
– From the remote view of another Infinity monitor
within the same monitoring unit
To pre-silence alarms remotely is only possible if
the remote control feature of the remote device is
activated and quiet mode is enabled on the Cockpit
(see "Alarm setup – Code functions" on page 464).
Refer to the corresponding instructions for use for
information on how to activate the remote control
feature.
To pre-silence alarms from the Cockpit
 Press the yellow or key on the
Cockpit. The appearance of the yellow key
depends on the Cockpit hardware version (see
page 26).
or
 Press the F1 keyboard key.
Pressing the key that initiated the pre-silence
period again, cancels the pre-silence state and
all alarm events are reported as usual.
NOTE
Pre-silencing alarms is not possible when quiet
mode is deactivated.
