To use the Alarm Alert pop-up:
1. When an alarm occurs, a pop-up Alarm Alert window appears for every operator that is
configured to receive alarms. The window beeps and displays the number of new alarms, the
number of unanswered alarms, and the highest priority alarm that is pending.
2. Click Silence, to stop the beeping. The button changes to Stand By. If another alarm occurs,
the beeping resumes and the information displayed is updated.

If you are having hardware problems and need to clear alarms that do not reset, use Purge in the
Alarm Monitor. The system logs the alarms and deletes them all from the monitor, even if they are
not reset.
Note:
An operator must have system permission to have access to the Alarm Monitor Purge button.
