Page 204 8.3.7.12 Trigger Type is Time Alert The DSM250 can be configured with alerts that go active at a predetermined time, such as an alarm clock. These alerts can also be configured to become active periodically, making them useful for signaling watch changes (for example, every four hours) or as a personnel alarm (making sure a crew member is at the helm every 15 minutes).

Alarm would become active again at 9:00, 10:00, and so on. 8.3.8 Local Audible If the Local Audible field is set to Enabled, the speaker internal to the DSM250 will be activated when this Alert is triggered. 8.3.9 Tone If Local Audible is enabled, the tone that is sounded on the DSM250 and the Remote Annunciators can be set here.
