To stop the buzzer during operation of the NT31/NT31C, operate the PT status
control area as indicated below.

the beginning of the PT status control area.
- Continuous sound: Bit 13

Reference: If more than one bit among the bits indicated above is “1” (ON) at the same time,
only one type of buzzer sounds according to the priority: continuous buzzer > short
intermittent sound > long intermittent sound. To stop the buzzer when it is sound-
ing, set “0” (0) for all bits indicated above; setting “0” (OFF) only for the bit corre-
sponding to the type of buzzer sound may not stop the buzzer.
Stopping the Buzzer by Pressing a Touch Switch Which Has the “Buzzer Stop” Function
Using this method, an operator can stop the buzzer by the operation at the
NT31/NT31C. Usually, a “buzzer stop” touch switch is registered to a screen for
which the buzzer attribute is set to sound the buzzer.
[Setting]
There is an “input key – control” touch switch that has the “buzzer stop” ( ) func-
tion.
Register this touch switch on the screen when creating it using the Support Tool.
