1 RESPONSE TO SYSTEM ALARMS OR ALERTS
When a System alarm or alert condition occurs, an alarm or alert tone sounds and
text message appears on the display of the 2nd Generation CentriMag Primary
Console. Most alarms and alerts require some action on the user's part to correct
the cause. The following table can be used to determine how to respond to an
alarm or alert condition.
