4.2.5 Alarms Menu Options and Parameters
For the alarms listed below, the PASS/FAIL displayed is only an indicator and cannot be changed
by the user. The MASK/UNMASKED Field, however, does allow user input. Masking an alarm
will cause it to be ignored by the unit if that alarm fails. The LCD will display FAIL, but the unit will
otherwise not respond to the Fault. This function can aid in troubleshooting system problems.
