3.1.3 ALARM INDICATORS (Cont.)
INSTRUMENT ALARM
This indicator appears, flashing, if any of the following errors are active. The instrument alarm summary page, de-
scribed above, allows the user to view such alarms.
Archive failed -(message)
Message explains archive failure - due to disk being missing, write protected etc.
Battery-backed RAM cleared
This message appears if the battery has failed, and the unit has been switched off.
Clock failure
Internal clock was corrupt at power up, or the time has never been set. Can be
caused by battery failure, in which case the battery icon will also be visible. The
error is cleared by setting the time and date. Server time forced to 00:00 1/1/1900.
Channel error
Indicates a hardware failure in the channel circuit or in the internal CJ temperature
measurement
Channel failure
Indicates a hardware failure in the input channel circuit
Floppy disk worn
Appears if a number of attempts had to be made before write to the disk was suc-
cessful. No data is lost, but the disk should be replaced as soon as is practicable.
Floppy disk corrupt
This appears if all attempts to write to the disk fail. In such a case, some data may
be lost. If the damaged area of the disk is in the system part of the disk, it might
appear to the recorder that it is unformatted, and the disk icon will disappear. The
disk should be replaced immediately.

tions with the primary server as defined in Archive Configuration (
