# Alarm definition

It shows a list with all the alarms defined in the system. In **LIBSAFE,** alarms are programmed following the general programming scheme, resulting in what we call **general parametrizable alarms**. To facilitate the use of the alarms, through simplification of the concept that lies beneath, some of them are limited in their configuration and renamed in the **preparameterized and easy to use alarms**.

The specific alarms available in your **LIBSAFE** version have to be checked through the interface.

The two kinds of alarms are separated into blocks, to facilitate their use, showing name and description. For ***Preparameterized and easy to use alarms***, it is possible to see from which general alarm they have been defined.

With the button ***Apply alarm***, it is possible to configure an instance of the alarm.

The detail page for an alarm definition is practically the same as that of configuring the detail of an instance of the same. See the next section for this reference.
