High priority—if a high priority alarm occurs, the display informs you in two ways: the LED on the display flashes until you acknowledge the alarm and a message displays while the alarm is active.
Medium priority—if a medium priority alarm occurs, the LED flashes and a message displays only while the alarm is active. Once the alarm becomes inactive, the LED stops flashing.
Low priority—if a low priority alarm occurs, the LED on the display flashes only while the alarm is active. No alarm message is displayed.
No priority—if an alarm is setup with no priority, no visible representation will appear on the display. Alarms with no priority are not entered in the Alarm Log. See Logging for alarm logging information. [Page 85]
