Monitoring Alarms
After defining and enabling alarms, you can quickly check if any error condition exists by looking for the notification you
defined (text, icon, or logging). (See page 8, Status Bar Icons.) Selecting the Ground Closure output response can help you
notice alarms that you may miss if the notification is text or icon only. Ground Closure can be used to drive an external alarm
when one or more alarms are triggered. (See page 51, To Set Allowed Alarm Responses.)

and then select Alarm Status. One or more of the following will appear:
