3.3 Setting a Visual Alarm on the Spartan 730

3.3.1 Enabling Dosimeter 1 Alarm 1
Spartan 730/730IS Dosimeter Manual
The Spartan 730's visual alarm settings enable you and the worker to be aware of
milestones within the current noise exposure period. The Dosimeter 1 setting
comes with 2 customizable visual alarm settings: Alarm 1, Alarm 2, which can be
enabled separately, as shown in section 3.3.1 Enabling Dosimeter 1 Alarm 1.
First, enable the alarm, then choose the alarm Source and Levels (noise
exposure metric and levels) to base the alarm on. Each alarm has an action level
and a limit level alarm. These levels are selectable from 70 to 100 dB. The alarm
state is active while the measured sound pressure level is above the set alarm
level. The alarm deactivates when the measured sound pressure level or Dose
level drops below the alarm level. This process is described here in section 3.3.2
