Emerson E2 operation manual Resetting, Clearing

TIPS: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT VS. RESETTING

•Reset an alarm if you believe the condition that caused it is fixed, but you wish for a new alarm to occur if the problem happens again.

•You MUST reset an alarm that has been previ- ously acknowledged to re-enable alarming for the alarm. Failure to do so will cause the alarm to remain in ACK, and the alarm will not be gen- erated again. AN ACKNOWLEDGED ALARM WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY RESET.

•Acknowledge an alarm to silence alarm panel horns or lights, ONLY IF technicians have been notified of the problem and have been dis- patched. Technicians, after fixing the problem, MUST reset or clear the alarm to re-enable alarming.

To acknowledge an alarm or notice, highlight the desired log entry and press  (ALARM ACK). A screen will come up prompting the user to either acknowl- edge the selected advisory, acknowledge all advisories, or to cancel the operation.
