7.2.2 Configure the transmitter's response to alerts using ProLink III
For some alerts, you can change the transmitter's response to an alert by setting the alert severity. You can
also configure the transmitter to ignore some alerts and conditions.
The transmitter implements the NAMUR NE 107 specification for alerts. NAMUR NE 107 categorizes alerts by
the suggested operator action, not by cause or symptom. Each alert has one or more associated conditions.
Important
The transmitter reports all the process and device conditions that were reported by previous transmitters.
However, the transmitter does not report them as individual alerts. Instead, the transmitter reports them as
conditions associated with alerts.
