# Audible Alert System

Audible Alerts (Playing Sounds When an Alarm Occurs)

When an alarm is displayed in the Navigation Tree, a corresponding sound that matches the severity condition can be played (if programmed) up to the repeat count, or until acknowledged, depending on how the sound is configured. To play sounds when alarms are received:

1. Select Alarm -> Configure Sounds. This will open the Audio Configuration dialog box allowing sounds (.wav files) to be linked to each of the 9 severity states for an alarm (4 severities unacknowledged [flashing], 4 severities acknowledged [non flashing] and the OK state).

2. Click the browse button (...) next to the Audio File text box to enter a sound file to play when an alarm with the selected severity is displayed in the Navigation Tree. Set the repeat count and playback volume for each sound

Note: To program the sound to repeat forever (intelligent mode only) until the alarm condition is acknowledged, set the repeat count to the maximum setting until the count value shows

Audible Alert Playback Mode

The Enable intelligent alarm sound playback option can be enabled or disabled to switch between the two available operating modes for audible alerts.

Intelligence Enabled (checked)

This mode will play a sound for it's repeat count corresponding to the severity level of the system. If the system severity level changes before the repeat count is completed the sound for the new severity level will play immediately.

Intelligence Disabled (unchecked)

This mode will play the severity sound for each alarm as they occur for it's full repeat count (max repeat count = 10) regardless of current system severity level.
