Resetting and Silencing Alarms
You can set the EAGLE 2’s gas alarms as latching or self-resetting alarms
(see “Updating the Alarm Latching Setting” on page 116).
• Self-resetting alarms (ALARM LATCHING set to SELF RESET)
Self-resetting alarms automatically shut off and reset when the gas reading
falls below (or rises above for an oxygen low alarm) the alarm setting. You
cannot reset self-resetting alarms with the POWER ENTER RESET
button. You can set self-resetting alarms with or without the alarm silence
feature (see “Updating the Alarm Silence Setting” on page 117).
• Latching alarms (ALARM LATCHING set to LATCHING)
Latching alarms will remain in effect until the gas reading falls below (or
rises above for an oxygen low alarm) the alarm setting and they are reset
with the POWER ENTER RESET button. You can set latching alarms
with or without the alarm silence feature (see “Updating the Alarm
Silence Setting” on page 117).
