S1000 Alarm messages
When the S1000 detects a fault or failure on the system, it will activate one
of the alarm messages listed in the following table.
Unless otherwise stated, you should respond to the alarm by pressing
standby to clear the alarm and return to manual control, before you attempt
to resolve the problem.
In some situations, the S1000 will raise more than one alarm. When you
have dealt with the first alarm, it will display the next alarm.
