•
Enables building operators to react faster to out-of-
normal conditions that may compromise safety or
comfort.
• Minimizes unnecessary service trips by reducing
nuisance alarms.
• Displays HVAC, Security, Fire, Maintenance,
Laboratory Fume Hood Safety, and other third
party integrated systems’ out-of-normal conditions
on a single alarm printer/monitor or at selected
alarm printers.
• Displays uninterrupted alarm indication/counter
even when the operator is using Microsoft

applications, including Excel and Word. The alarm
indicator displays and the operator can quickly
switch back to the Insight alarm display without
exiting out of Word or Excel.
Typical examples of Alarm Management uses include:
• Automatically send alarm notification to on-site
alarm printers during operating hours and to a
remote location during after hours
• Automatically send selected alarm notification to
pagers
• Designate alarm severity by color codes at the
Insight workstation for at-a-glance viewing on
graphics and the Alarm Display.
• Change the alarm printer routing based on
severity.
• Set floating alarm limits as an offset to the setpoint
(for example, ± 5 degrees from setpoint).
• Assign multiple floating alarm limits color coding
(for example, green, yellow, red) to indicate
varying levels of severity of the alarm.
• Store alarm records to disk for historical purposes.
• Sort alarm display and printout by type, priority or
date of occurrence
• Customize alarm messages for each alarm to
provide specific instructions to the operator.
• Attach a Point Memo to the alarm record for the
next shift operator.
• Assign alarms to destinations. Designate
destinations to display on specific alarm printers
(that is, HVAC routine alarms to maintenance
office, HVAC critical alarms sent to facility
manager office or a pager, security alarms to
guard station).
• Define alarm parameters through Insight or
through the field panel operator interface program.
Operator Interface

• On-site text based at terminal or printer connected
to field panel RS-232 port
