Alarms and Limits
Alarms Window and Menu
You can set the alarms in normal operating mode or in-service mode. You can also have the
Propaq Encore automatically print the patient's vital sign information when an alarm occurs.
Alarm Status Window
This status window shows, with a bell symbol, the alarm status of each patient channel.
Bells only appear when at least one limit is turned on and the vital sign parameter is being
monitored. For NIBP, the bell always appears whenever at least one limit is turned on, even
when an NIBP reading is not being taken.
• The full bell shows you that all alarm limits are turned on.
• The half bell indicates that at least one alarm limit is turned off.
• The absence of a bell shows that no alarm limits are turned on.
These bells also appear in the numerics windows.
Alarms Menu
The Alarms Menu shown below the status window lets you access other alarm functions to
individually set alarm limits or automatically set them.
Adjusting the Alarm Tone Volume
You can adjust the alarm tone to one of three volumes. Except for temporarily suspending the
alarm tone using the
SUSPEND
button, you cannot turn off the tone completely.
