possible values for State are ON and OFF. The possible values for Audibility 
are UNMUTE and MUTED. 
Possible status values and their descriptions are as follows:
OK – Alarm device is functional and operational.
FAIL – Alarm device has malfunctioned and is not operational.
NOT-INSTALLED – Alarm device has not been installed.
ACTIVATED - Alarm device is functional, and an error condition has been 
detected. This is a visual indication for the alarm, in addition to the sound. If 
you mute the sound, the visual indication remains.

/cx/ex/almx set alarm=mute|unmute|off
The /cx/ex/almx set alarm command applies only to 9750 and 9690SA 
controllers. For the 9650SE, simply drop the prepended controller name in the 
command and use /ex.
The /cx/ex/almx set alarm command controls the audibility and state of the 
enclosure alarm. It provides the ability to silence an activated alarm. It also 
gives you the option to mute or unmute the alarm setting. 
You can also use this command to prevent an audible alarm from sounding, in 
the case where a known condition will set off the alarm, by muting the alarm 
in advance.
If an error condition or degraded state is detected, the enclosure alarm or 
buzzer sounds. To silence the alarm, you can either set the state of the alarm to 
off, or you can mute the alarm.
