You can set the following parameters for alarm handling:

  1. The maximum allowed reaction time to an alarm is the length of time from the moment the operator who accepted an alarm for processing exits alarm mode, after which the alarm returns to New status, and the count for the allowed time for ignoring an alarm begins again.

    Note

    For example, an operator can exit alarm mode to view the video archive related to the alarm

  2. Requirement for comments when classifying alarms in Alarm Management mode.

To configure alarm handling in the system, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Settings → Options → Alarm processing (1-2). 
  2. In the Time period of operator reaction to alarm field, enter the time during which an operator who accepted an alarm for processing and exited alarm mode without evaluating it must return to alarm mode (3). The minimum value is 2 minutes.
  3. Set the maximum dwell time for alarms on the Special Layout (4). After the dwell time has elapsed, the alarm will be removed from the layout and the next one shows.

  4. Select the alarm classifications for which you want to require comments (5).

  5. Click the Apply button.

Configuration of alarm handling is now complete.
