Warning Chime Characteristics

Each warning chime has unique characteristics. The warning chimes use volume, chime frequency, length of time the chime sounds and the number of chime tones to identify which chime is sounding. The IPC  prioritizes the chimes according to a preset hierarchy programmed into the IPC  software. When more than one chime request is received by the IPC  , the most important chime sounds. If a lower priority chime is currently sounding, the higher priority request takes over and replaces the lower priority chime.

There are 3 different chime types as listed below:
