Omni16 Alarm Monitoring Systems from Omniflex
The industry standard Omni-16c alarm annunciator range is off-the-shelf from Omniflex, offered in a range of sizes and display options.
Alarm indicators are used to reliably indicate alarm conditions that require attention to plant operators. This is usually done by means of a flashing light and an audible warning when an alarm occurs.
