8.0 SILENCE ALARM & BACKUP LOG FILES (SERVICE TERMINAL INTERFACE)
This section describes two features that are available in the Service Terminal Interface:
• Silence Alarm

8.1 Silence Alarm (Service Terminal Interface)
The Silence Alarm menu item allows you to silence the audible alarm and reset the Common Alarm
Relay output if the common alarm is configured to reset with silence.
This menu item is available only through the Service Terminal Interface and SiteScan Web connec-
tion.
To silence the alarm remotely through the Service Terminal Interface:
• Connect to the Universal Monitor either from a remote computer or through the RS232 port (see
A.2 - Connecting to the Service Terminal Interface).
• At the Main Menu, enter 8 (Silence Alarm).
• At the Silence Alarm menu, shown below, enter 1 to silence the audible alarm immediately. (To
exit without silencing the alarm, enter 2 or press the Escape key.)
• A confirmation message appears: “Alarm has been silenced.”
NOTE
An alarm may also be silenced by pressing any key on the LCD keypad on the front
of the Universal Monitor. The LCD does not offer Silence Alarm as a menu item.
