Audio File

Select (...) and select the sound that plays with this alarm from the Sound File Select dialog box.

Severity Color

Select the color that is displayed with this alarm.

For alarms in the Alarms Summary, the number of available severity levels is pre-defined.

Beep Cycle Time (secs)

Enter the length (in seconds) of the beep cycle.

Number of beeps

Enter the number of beeps that are played per cycle.

Higher priority alarms should have more beeps per second than lower priority alarms.

Number of Cycles

Enter the number of times the beep cycle is repeated. The cycle stops when this number is reached or the Controller acknowledges the alarm.

For example, setting Number of Cycles to 20 gives a repeat of 20 cycles before the alarm sound disappears (if it goes unacknowledged).

A value of -1, a common setting, results in the alarm cycle continuing until the alarm is acknowledged.
