1.4.4 Verifying Alarms in Building Operator Discovery

Once you’ve configured point alarms, you can verify that these changes executed

in Building Operator Discovery. You can do so one of two ways:

First, after you select OK in the Edit/Add pop-up, you’ll see a blue check box below

a new [Alarm Type] Alarm column in the Alarm Config list results.

However, if you’re interested in seeing which value was configured to set the

alarm, follow the instructions below:

1. Navigate to and launch DB Builder from the Applications menu.

2. Find and select the appropriate point on the device within the site hierarchy.

3. Beneath Property Tags, you’ll note new tags were created. These tags outline

various Alarm Config parameters, or the values that you just manually set.
