Operation
3.10 Alarms
The Alarms Settings menu is where global alarm functions
aredened.Thesesettingsapplytoallalarmbehaviors.
Latching is an alarm function that causes an alarm
condition to persist even when the Badge parameters
have returned to normal operating ranges. A Latched
alarm must be acknowledged at the FLEX touch screen
interface itself to be cleared. This function is useful when
it is important for staff to be physically present at the room
to observe the alarm condition and respond to it.
Audible Alarm Enabled causes an alarm condition to
sound the audible alarm behind the FLEX faceplate.
When Disabled, FLEX will still annunciate the alarm via a
relay, visibly on the FLEX screen, and over the network to
aBACnetobject.Therelayis congurable, and may not
always annunciate when in alarm. Audible Alarms also
need not be annoying. If Audible Alarms are desired, set
the Alarm volume as low as needed for the customer’s
environment.
Alarm Volume is a 3-level adjustment for the audible
alarm. Press up or down arrows to increase or decrease
the setting. When up or down arrows are pressed, the
buzzer will beep briefly to provide a sample of the level.
If Audible Alarms are desired, test several settings on
this parameter to optimize an appropriate volume for the
environment where FLEX is installed.
Mute Timeout is the amount of time an acknowledged
alarm will be silent. When an audible alarm occurs, an
operator may approach the FLEX unit and silence the alarm
by pressing the Mute Sound icon on the right side of the
screen. At that time, Mute Timeout begins a countdown
function from the number of seconds congured. When
Mute Timeout gets to zero, and if the alarm condition
persists, the audible alarm will sound again. This number
should be optimized to a time that long enough so it is not
annoying to staff, but short enough to ensure the alarm
condition is dealt with responsibly.
