Event Log Menu
From the Event Log menu, you can access the last 50 events, which includes events, notices, and alarms, arranged from newest to oldest. Events, notices, and alarms are logged in the Event Log when they occur and, if applicable, when they were cleared as follows:
SEvents are silent conditions that are recorded in the Event Log as status information, such as “Clock Set Done.” Events do not require a response.
SNotices, including active notices, are recorded in the Event Log. Active notices, such as “Bypass AC Over Voltage,” are typically announced by an intermittent beep. Notices do not normally require a response.
