Alert Status
There are three types of alert status:
•
Unacknowledged Alerts
When an Alarm or Warning is detected, this alert appears with a
flashing background colour in the Alert Status Indicator and the
Alert display. If more than one alert condition exists, the alert with
the highest priority is shown. Alerts continue to be shown in the
indicator until it is either:
•
acknowledged;
•
automatically cleared; or
•
replaced with either an alert of higher priority, or a more
recent alert of the same priority.
If the internal buzzer is enabled, the buzzer will only sound when
there are unacknowledged alarms or warnings.
•
Acknowledged Alerts
If an alert has been acknowledged, but the fault has not been
corrected, the message
Alarms Present or Warnings Present is
displayed in non-flashing red or yellowish-orange in the Alert
Status Indicator. The acknowledged alert remains listed with the
text displayed in coloured lettering in the Alerts Display area,
unless the
Hide Acknowledged box has been ticked.
•
No Alerts
If there are no alerts the caption No Alerts is displayed in the Alert
Status Indicator and the system background colour is shown.
