The 

OPEN

 alarm list shows per alarm source 

one status line. If an alarm is on the threshold 
line (toggle) it 

will not create a new alarm

until the alarm is closed. If several time the 
alarm from the same source is coming 
(toggling) it is counting the occurrence, first 
and last time it has been detected. 

To close an alarm 
(clear), select the 
alarm and change 
status. 

The 

Closed

 alarm list shows per alarm 

source the “history” of an alarm event. 
After the incident, which created the alarm 
has been resolved, the alarm(s) should be 
closed. 
This alarm list displays closed alarms from 
the last 60 days. 

First value 
measured, which 
created an alarm.  

Current value of 
the „alarm 
source“. 

After testing and 
commissioning the 
“Start Operation” 
button will clear all 
Pending and 
cleared alarm out 
of the list. 

Click “Yes” if you 
want to 

delete all

 

pending and 
cleared alarms. 

If in the Data Logger general 
menu the box “automatically 
close alarms” is activated, 
“Open” alarms will be moved 
after disappearing into the 
“Closed” alarm list.
