Managing Alarms
Watch the video below for an overview. Consult the following written information and linked subsections for details.
Know Before Beginning
Before any new alarm will trigger for a condition, its target point must return into a normal condition for at least one minute (which resets the alarm).
If an alarm is configured for a target point that is already in an alarm condition during configuration, no alarm will trigger until after the target point has gone into the normal condition first. For example, if an alarm is configured for a duct temperature, but the wiring to the duct temperature sensor is defective, no alarm will trigger for the abnormal duct temperature until after the defective wiring is fixed.
The interval that alarm points are read can be changed from the default (15 minutes). For example, the interval might be made longer to reduce data consumption through cellular connections or shorter to increase the update rate for critical environmental monitoring. See Point Update Wait Interval (Minutes) in Settings > Protocols.
