  Alarms 

In the event of an alarm, the red alarm LED will flash, the alarm relay will close, and the alarm code will flash in the display.  Multiple alarms will flash in sequence, 
alternating with the main display.  Pressing the sel button for 2 seconds will reset the alarms, although still active alarms will continue to display.
