5-12 Infinity Vista VF6
5 ALARMS AND MESSAGES
Central Alarms
If the bedside monitor appears on the central station’s display, the central station
announces all bedside alarms. The alarm grade (life-threatening, serious, advisory) is
determined by the bedside monitor’s setting. If the central station fails to indicate a
bedside alarm within 10 seconds, the bedside monitor reports a network alarm error
and alarms sound at their highest volume at the bedside monitor. Once the network
error is corrected, the bedside monitor’s master volume returns to the last user setting.
From the central station, you can remotely:
z Set alarm limits.
z Turn parameter alarms On or Off.
z Silence active alarms.
z Turn alarm recordings On or Off.
Changes made to the alarm limits at the central station take effect immediately at the
bedside monitor. For more information, see the Instructions for Use of the central
station.
NOTE:
z When the monitor is connected to the Infinity network, you can turn the master
speaker volume off at the bedside monitor. If the monitor is operating as a
stand-alone device, you cannot turn the speaker volume off at the bedside
monitor (also see the Monitor Setup chapter).
z During a network alarm error, the master speaker volume at the bedside monitor
can be lowered via the Monitor Setup menu. The network error message
remains on the screen until the error condition is resolved.
