2.1.6
Sensor Alarms
Sensor alarms are alarms generated by the device when an input being monitors goes above or below an alarm limit. The Cadmus devices support the following 4
alarm types per channel (Channels 1 to 4): “Hi Hi”, “Hi”, “Lo” and “Lo Lo”.
“Hi Hi” and “Lo Lo” alarms are given higher priority than the “Hi” and “Lo” alarms.
The Sensor Alarm screen is split into three tabs.
•
Active Alarm
•
Awaiting Acknowledgment
•
History
2.1.6.1
Active Sensor Alarms
When an alarm is raised it will initially be displayed in the “Active Alarm” tab. It will remain in this tab until the alarm
has cleared on the device. Each alarm is
allocated one row
. Alarms will display with a pink background colour if they have not yet been acknowledged. “Hi Hi” and “Lo Lo” alarms will b
e listed closest to the
top, and then “Hi” and “Lo” alarms.
When acknowledging an alarm, a popup window will appear to give a comment. The alarm background colour will then turn yellow. It will also be pushed down the list,
below any non-acknowledged alarms. Additional information will show who acknowledged the alarm and when the alarm was acknowledged.
Alarms will only remain
in this tab while the alarm is active. If the alarm clears, but has not yet been acknowledged it will move to the “Awaiting Acknowledgement”
Tab, otherwise acknowledged alarm will move to the “History” tab.
When the system has a large number of alarms present, use the FILTER dropdown about the table to filter down the number of records shown.
