General
The ventilator module is equipped with automatic means for detection and
identification of serious and sudden events through alarm signals or information
signals.
The aim of the alarm signal is to draw the attention of the user on the event, as well
as to indicate the required response speed; they differ for:
Level or urgency,
divided into:
Level of severity,
divided into:
The aim of the information signal is to send a message which may require more

•
Immediate, the event is potentially able to develop in a
period of time which generally is not enough to undertake
a corrective manual action;
•
brief, the event is potentially able to develop in a period of
time which generally is enough to undertake a corrective
manual action;
•
delayed, i.e. that the event is potentially able to develop in
a not specified period of time.
•
severe, i.e. leading to irreversible damage
•
moderate, i.e. leading to reversible damage
•
minor, i.e. involving a distress or leading to a minor
damage
The combination of urgency level and severity level of the listed
factors, determines the assignment of priority condition of an alarm
situation.
The parameters and the characteristics (activation time, presence or
lack of an acoustic and/or luminous indicator) and the possible user's
actions respect to the alarm signals (silencing, suspension) are
described here below.
