been designated a general monitor, this would be indicated by “W1-2G” in

How Do You Know When an Alarm Occurs?
When your System Administrator initially programmed the Activities, each
Activity was routed to specific Workstations. These Workstations are the
ones that will be affected when the alarm is initiated. In other words, it will
be the T
OUCH TRACKERs that beep, the video and the operator messages that
appear on the alarming monitors, and the Activity that can be cleared via the
T
OUCH TRACKERs for those Workstations.
When an alarm comes in, you will see an alarm count indicator displayed on
the alarming monitors for the Workstation where the alarm was routed. The
alarm count indicator identifies the total number of alarms that are currently
active (for this Workstation).
Every Activity has a unique number associated with it. This number is called
the Activity number. This Activity number is displayed on the monitor
whenever its associated alarm is initiated. It remains on the monitor for as
long as the alarm is active. The Activity number is indicated by the
characters “A:X”, where X = the specific Activity number; this is displayed at
the bottom of the monitor.
When an alarm comes in, the alarm count indicator is displayed on all of the
alarming monitors in each of the affected Workstations. The Activity
number is displayed on the lowest numbered alarming monitor available in
each of the affected Workstations.
