perform the following tasks:
– Displaying and processing various message types such as alarm and trouble messages
– Bypassing, isolating and resetting elements
– Performing a walktest
– Display diagnostic information about every LSN element
– Programming detectors (short texts and detector sensitivity)
– Performing a drill
– Saving, displaying and printing out events
– Switching the system to day or night mode.
2.5 Skills required by personnel
