Clearing an Alarm

During configuration with LogTag® Analyzer you can allow a user to clear an alarm on the display. This is a useful function for an inspector, so repeated alarms can be recognised easier.

 

This display screen shows an existing alarm that occurred yesterday, but has not yet been cleared.

To clear an alarm, press and hold the START/CLEAR/STOP button.

If the quickstart option is disabled, the Cross symbol will flash for approx. 6 seconds. When the Cross symbol remains permanently on, release the button within 2 seconds. The Cross symbol now turns off, and the alarm is cleared.

The alarm will not be cleared if you …

  • release the button before the Cross symbol remains permanently on, or
  • if you keep holding the button after the Cross symbol remains permanently on for more than 2 seconds.

 

Recording at 1:49 am

In this example the paused function was activated, and the paused symbol is shown on the display. For more information about paused readings please see the section about Paused Readings.

Recording with alarm cleared

A mark will be placed in the readings when you clear an alarm. The inspection log in LogTag® Online will show an AM or PM inspection, depending on the time of day the alarm was cleared.

Note: Only the Alarm Indicator (Cross) can be cleared! The day alarm marker (Marker for day -1 in the above example) remains shown, as it is part of the statistic summary. Clearing an alarm also does not reset any of the delay values. Please see Alarm Configuration for additional information.
