− Block – incoming alarms are displayed on a
block (group) of monitors with which they
are associated. The first incoming alarm is
displayed on the first (lowest numbered)
monitor of the block. The second alarm is
displayed on the next lowest numbered
monitor of the block, and so on. When all
monitors in a given block are displaying
alarm video signals, all subsequent alarms
are either held in queue or sequenced until
the displayed alarms are cleared depending
on the monitor alarm queuing method.
− Dual Hold – an incoming alarm is displayed
and held on the first of the pair of monitors
until cleared. All subsequent alarms are
queued in order on the second monitor until
the current held alarm is cleared from the
first monitor. As alarms are cleared off the
first monitor, the stacked alarms on the
second monitor are then transferred to the
first monitor.
− Dual Sequence – an incoming alarm is
displayed and held on the first of the pair of
monitors until cleared. All subsequent
alarms are queued in order on the second
monitor until the current held alarm is
cleared from the first monitor. As alarms are
cleared off the first monitor, the sequenced
alarms on the second monitor are
transferred to the first monitor.
− Disarmed – The monitor does not receive
alarms.
