Monitoring Alarms
After defi ning and enabling alarms, you can quickly check if any error condition exists by looking (or listening) for the
notificat
ion you defined (text, icon, logging, SNMP trap, beep). (See page 9, Status Bar Icons.) Selecting audible response
(Beep) or the Ground Closure output response can help you notice alarms that you m ay miss if the notifi cation is text or icon
only. The latter can be used to drive a light or audible alarm when one or more alarms are triggered. (See page 126, To
Set Allow
ed Alarm R esponses.)
