The Alarm Banner is displayed on most ViewX and WebX clients by default. Although we do not recommend it (as you may not become aware of new alarms on the system), you might want to remove the Alarm Banner so that it is not on display.
You can only remove the Alarm Banner if your User Account has the Can Remove Banner feature enabled.
WARNINGLACK OF AUDIBLE ALARM NOTIFICATION
Take care when considering whether to remove the Alarm Banner. Be aware that the audible alarm can only sound on ViewX clients on which the Alarm Banner is displayed (provided that other settings do not cause the audible alarm to be silenced). Always ensure that the Alarm Banner remains on display on at least one ViewX client that is situated alongside any ViewX clients on which the Alarm Banner has been removed. On a ViewX client on which the audible alarm will not sound, you will need to rely on other means of notification when alarms are raised on that client.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
To remove the Alarm Banner on a ViewX client, either:
- Select the Alarm Banner’s Close button.
Or:
- Display the Home tab on the ViewX ribbon.
- Deselect Alarm Banner in the Operate command group.
The Alarm Banner is removed.
To remove the Alarm Banner on a WebX client:, ether:
- Select the Show/Hide Alarm Banner command on the navigation bar.
Or:
- Select the button that is displayed on the movable edge of the Alarm Banner. (The button provides a different function in ViewX - (see Resize the Alarm Banner).)
The Alarm Banner is removed.
