The Alarm Display Screen
The GEM recognises alarm messages received
from the engine via the data link. When a new
alarm is received the GEM will start to beep and a
flashing pop-up window will appear with the latest
alarm details.
Pressing any key will display the alarm list screen
which contains details of all previous alarms.
Those that have already been acknowledged are
shown as black text on a grey background. New
alarms, that have not yet been acknowledged, are
shown as highlighted grey text on a black back-
ground. If engine hour’s data is available, the list
will also indicate the engine hours when the alarm
message was first received.
When first entering the alarm page the list will
automatically go to the most recent alarm re-
ceived. If the list is longer than the screen size, the
alarm list can be scrolled up and down using keys
#1 and #2.
The screen cannot be exited until all alarms have
been acknowledged by pressing key #3. Alarm
messages will be automatically cleared from the
list if no longer received.
The alarm list screen can be viewed, at any time,
by pressing key #4.
Pop-up Messages and Warnings
In the configuration menu, the user can set the
engine service interval in hours. When the GEM
determines that an engine service is due, it will
display a “SERVICE REQUIRED” message over-
laying the start-up screen which appears for seven
seconds following power-up.
Should the GEM not detect valid engine data, a
flashing pop-up window will appear displaying a
“Communications Failure” icon denoting this fault
condition. Once engine data transmissions have
been detected the pop-up window will disappear
and normal data display will continue.
