Email and Fax Alert System
The alarms are separated into eight categories. The user can assign a different priority to each
category. For example, you might want all chamber alarms to have a high priority and be emailed
immediately upon the sounding of the alarm. However, for communications errors that may be caused by
transient noise on the line, you may want to have set as a low priority. All low priority errors would then be
compiled in a general report that is mailed out once a week. The exact definition of each priority level is also
user definable: high, medium or low priority items can be specified as sent immediately, once an hour, once
a day or once a week, at any specified time.
