Definition 3.3 – ALARM LIMIT

ü ALARM LIMIT refers to the criteria that cause the ALARM SYSTEM to generate ALARM SIGNALS. For a simple variable with a single level of urgency, a value selected by the OPERATOR can constitute the ALARM LIMIT. ALARM LIMIT can also refer to algorithmically determined criteria, the exact nature of which the OPERATOR cannot be aware, as well as the criteria structure applicable to a simple ALARM CONDITION variable for which there are multiple urgencies.
