[Histonet] RE: Audible alarm

[Rathborne, Toni]

We do have an alarm set up to go off in the main lab. Next to the switch to turn off the sound (it's really loud!), we have a list of phone numbers so that a supervisor or one of the histotechs can come in if necessary. We really use this only for a processor malfunction, since all of our critical instruments are connected to the back up generator supply designated by red outlets.

Subject: [Histonet] Audible alarm

Hello to all in histoland.  We recently had a issue withour tissue processor in regards to a power outage.  Once the popwer came back on the processor was in a power out stage and did not process our blocks.
Does any one have an external alarm attached to their tissue processor that would alarm in another area when a problem occurs or a automatic dialer that would start calling people.  We are using a UPS back up power box on both of our processors right now.  I'm trying to see which would be the best way to resolve this issue.  Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
