Audible Alarm Indicators
The X Series unit sounds an audible alarm to indicate the priority level of highest-priority
active alarm. The X Series indicates the priority level of the highest-priority active alarm by
sounding the audible alarm tones described in the following table.
Audible alarms can be silenced or suspended. More detailed information about how to silence
and suspend audible alarms is included later in this chapter.
Alarm Indicator Self-Test
The X Series unit performs a self-test of the audio and visual alarm indicators upon power-up.
To ensure that the alarms and alerts are functioning properly, verify that two alarm tones are
heard and the green, yellow, and red LEDs are illuminated upon power up.
