Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings
To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor:
1 In the monitor's Main Setup menu, select Alarms.
2 Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings.
This setting can be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for
your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching:
Red & Yellow, Red Only,
and
Off. The audible latching configuration can never be configured to a higher level than that
configured for the visual latching. In other words, the audible latching setting is always the same level,
or lower, than the visual latching setting. For example, if visual latching is configured to
Red Only, then
audible latching can only be set to
Red Only or Off. The following table shows the possible
combinations for latching settings:
Alarm Latching Behavior
All INOPs except the "unplugged" INOPs are non-latching.
