Page 11: Alarms
It is practical for the monitor user to be aware of the possible alarms prior to monitor set-up and use. The Ventis MX4 has four alarm and warning levels. A “system level” alarm generates the highest frequency tone and highest level visual and vibration signals. - Page 12 Ventis™ MX4 Product Manual the up arrow icon displays. A low alarm condition occurs when the concentration of gas sensed reaches the monitor’s low alarm value setting for a sensor(s). Low Alarm Screen A flashing gas concentration value* indicates which sensor(s) reading(s) is the cause for alarm.
