Understanding Alarm Messages

If you do not immediately understand an INOP or alarm message, refer to its help text.

♦

In the 

 window, select the INOP message. This calls up a help window with 

an explanation of the INOP message and, where appropriate, a suggested solution for the problem.

The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines 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 visual and/or audible alarm indications are still 
displayed or announced by the monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you 
acknowledge the alarm. 

To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor 

In the monitor’s 

 menu, select 

.

Select 

, and see the 

 and 

 

settings.

This setting can only 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, Red and 
Yellow, and Off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:

R = red alarms, Y = yellow alarms
