Alarms
Note for ST8360 Expansion System Users: Your Stack Display device
may have different alarm settings to the Video-Logger. To avoid
alarms firing under different conditions, synchronise the settings.
The Video-Logger system monitors various parameters and can trigger an alarm
to alert the driver if a parameter either exceeds or falls below a certain value.
For example, one alarm will be triggered if the fuel pressure falls
below
its
alarm value. Another will be triggered if the oil temperature rises
above
its
alarm value. The values at which the alarms go off are specified in the
Configuration Menu option for the parameter (see Chapter 3 – Configuration).
The alarms are updated only when the engine speed has exceeded the
Gate
RPM
value for
at least one second
.
The Gate RPM value is the level of RPM at which the system tests for the alarm
conditions. This is to prevent abnormal alarms from being triggered when, for
example, the engine is either not running, is idling, or is warming up.
Table 6 lists the various alarm parameters and the conditions under which they
are triggered.
