Visual Latching, Audible Latching
The alarm latching settings define how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge
them.
• When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition ends.
• Switching alarm latching on, means that the visual and/or audible alarm indications are still
displayed or announced after the alarm condition ends. The indications last until you acknowledge
them.
