Which pattern indicates a Communication failure event?

Which pattern indicates a Communication failure event?

• A. No alarm sound
• B. Long, low beep; then one high beep
• C. Continuous, fast beeping alarm sound
• D. Continuous, slow, two-tone beeping alarm sound

Answer: (C)

In alarm monitoring, the sound patterns map to different event types, and a communication failure is indicated by a sound that is ongoing and rapid. The continuous, fast beeping signals a persistent fault affecting the communication link, demanding immediate attention and not just a momentary or routine notification. The other patterns don’t convey a sustained communication problem. No alarm sound means nothing is signaling a condition. A long, low beep followed by a high beep represents a specific sequence that usually denotes a different event or status change, not a continuous communication fault. A continuous, slow two-tone beeping suggests another category of alert, not the rapid, ongoing fault that characterizes a comms failure. So the pattern of continuous, fast beeping best indicates a communication failure event.
