Chapter 2: Front panel programming 
54  Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual 
Clearing the event history log 
The panel maintains a log of 1,000 system or user events. The event record contains 
the event time, the event type, the event state, and the event ID. The event time is the 
time and date of the event activation or restoration. All of these records are stored in 
the panel’s history database and can be cleared (deleted) if needed. 
Once the history log is cleared, all new panel events are stored in history. You might 
want to clear the history log in the following situations: 
•  When installation is complete, you can clear the history log before turning the 
system over to the building owner. 
•  If the system history log is filled with event records resulting from a faulty device, 
problem, or situation, you can clear the history log after the problem is addressed. 
Note: When the history log is full, the oldest event is deleted when a new event is 
added. 
To clear the event history log: 
1.  Press the menu button and choose Program. 
2. Choose Clear History. 
3.  Enter a level two password. 
4.  Select Yes to clear history or No to leave history 
unchanged. 
5. Press Enter. 
6.  Press the Menu button to exit menu mode, or 
continue programming.
