You need to know which values have been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low
alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range.
To see the extreme pressure alarms set for your monitor, in the setup menu for that pressure, see the
menu items
ΔExtr.High and ΔExtr. Low.
The extreme pressure alarms are high priority, red alarms, marked
*** in the alarm message.
