The Reset Method is used reset a latched Alarm instance. It is only available on an instance of an AlarmConditionType that exposes the LatchedState. Normally, the NodeId of the Object instance is passed as the ObjectId to the Call Service. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore, Servers shall allow Clients to call the Reset Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId. The Method cannot be called with an ObjectId of the AlarmConditionType Node.
