Alarms/INOPs From External Devices
The VueLink module itself generates INOPs, but does not generate alarms. If the external device’s
alarms are on, the module transmits these to the monitor. A message in the VueLink info window tells
you either Device Al ar ms Ignore d or Device Al arms Acce pted or No Alarms
Available. External device alarms status symbols precede some, but not all, measurement labels.
Alarms from external devices are:
• all transmitted to the monitor. For all numerics configured in the Setup Vu eLink menu, an
alarm condition is announced at the monitor. For one or more measurements not configured in the
Setup Vu eLink menu, an alarm is announced as a text message for the highest priority alarm.
Priority is determined at the external device.
•always non-latching on the monitor.
• announced as a flashing numeric while the alarm condition persists.
• announced audibly and visibly at the Information Center.
the monitor is configured to accept external device alarms,
but the alarms are switched off at the external device.
