Missed alarms can cost time, money, and safety. AlarmOnTest was built to make sure critical alarms actually work—before you need them most.
AlarmOnTest is NMC’s web-based alarm testing system that lets teams test, verify, and document alarm notifications without triggering real emergencies. It helps operators confirm that alarms reach the right people, through the right channels, at the right time—safely and efficiently.
What Is AlarmOnTest and Why It Matters
AlarmOnTest is designed for organizations that rely on alarms for safety, operations, or compliance. Instead of waiting for a real incident—or risking disruption with live tests—this system allows controlled, simulated alarm testing from a web interface.
Why it matters:
- Alarms fail more often than people expect
- Staff roles and contact details change
AlarmOnTest solves these problems in one place.
How AlarmOnTest Works (Step by Step)
1. Web-Based Access
Users log in through a browser—no special software required. This makes it easy for teams across locations to run or review tests.
2. Safe Alarm Simulation
The system sends test alarms, not live alerts. Everyone knows it’s a drill, but the delivery path is exactly the same as a real alarm.
3. Multi-Channel Testing
AlarmOnTest can test how alerts are delivered via:
- SMS
- Voice calls
- Integrated monitoring platforms
This confirms that every channel works as intended.
4. Automatic Logging & Reports
Each test is recorded with:
- Time and date
- Recipients
- Delivery status
- Acknowledgements
This creates a clear audit trail for internal reviews and external inspections.
