MARA OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Alarms/Alert Codes
The Console provides alerts to inform the user
of Alarm Conditions and additional Information
Signals. Table 2 and Table 4 list all alerts. Alert
Codes 101-199 are Information Signals, while
Alert Codes 201-299 are Low Priority Alarms. For
Alarm conditions, the system has determined
that operator awareness or response may
be required. Alarms will be accompanied by
a double-beep tone and solid yellow light.
Information signals will be accompanied by a
single beep tone and solid orange light. The
Alert system is not user adjustable, nor does it
require user testing to function.
Note:
The Alarm tones may stutter during
certain alarm circumstances. This is
normal for the Console and does not indicate
a malfunction of the alarm hardware.
