Alarm Icon Colors
Current Status Colors
A status alarm’s icon may display three separate colors in three distinct quadrants. The left-
most double quadrant indicates the
current
status of the alarm. The upper-right quadrant
indicates the
latched
status. The lower-right quadrant indicates the
acknowledged
status.

The color of the
current
status double-quadrant, on the left-hand side of a status alarm’s icon,
indicates the condition of the alarm in real-time. The color-coding is as follows:
Latched and Acknowledged Status Colors
The
latched
status, if red, indicates that the alarm needs to be reset. If the latched status is
green, this indicates that the alarm does not need to be reset (see
"Figure "3-2, on page 25
).
The
acknowledged
status, if red, indicates that the alarm needs to be acknowledged. Likewise,
if the acknowledged status is green, this alarm does not require acknowledgement at this
time (see
"Figure "3-2, on page 25
).
