## Deactivate alarms

Active alarms can continue to appear in the viewer if, for example, an alarm dropout has not been configured, or a device has been removed from the network after an alarm was issued. In such cases you can use the Deactivate Alarms utility to remove these permanently active alarms from the viewer.

To use the utility:

Open and select Tools > Deactivate Alarms to open the dialog.

Select a date for the Show Active Alarms older than field if you want to change the default date.

Click Load Active Alarms to display a list of the active that are older than the date specified.

Use the Select column to select the alarms that you want to set to an inactive state. You can also click Select All to select all of the alarms displayed in the grid. Use Select None to clear the selection of any alarms listed.

Click Set Selected Alarms to Inactive.

The Active column displays N for all alarms set to the inactive state.

Click Done to close the dialog and then close .

When you log in to again and open the dialog, the number of alarms shown in the Alarms Displayed field matches the number in the Alarms Displayed field in the All Active Alarms view in the application. (The application is available in the component.)
