Alert Status Indicator
The Alert Status Indicator displays the
current alert status of the system. The
display of alerts is prioritised; with active
alarms first, followed by warnings and then cautions.
The Alert Status Indicator's background colour is based on the state and
status of active alerts in the system. If no active alerts exist, the
background colour shows the system background colour and the message
No Alerts is displayed. If unacknowledged alerts exist, the background
colour changes to a flashing colour based on the highest unacknowledged
alert priority, these are:
 red for alarm
 yellow for warnings and cautions
You can acknowledge alerts in one of two ways:
1. either by clicking on the message in the Alert Status Indicator; or
2. by clicking on the
ACK ALARM button on the control panel.
The alert is removed from the Alert Status Indicator and, if other
unacknowledged alerts exist, is replaced by the next in order of priority.
The alert remains listed (non flashing) in the Alerts Display list as long as
the condition exists.
When all alerts have been acknowledged but any are still active, the
background colour will be determined by the highest priority active alert
category.
To view details on alerts right click on the Alert Status Indicator, the Alert
Display menu appears.
