9. Active and Stored Alarm Lists
Active alarms. When an active/current alarm is received, a flashing pop-up window appears
overlaid on the current screen in use, showing details of the current alarm. When an active alarm
is received, the Engine Monitor activates its internal sounder, and the external alarm output on
Pin 11 (if available on the KAntrak™ you have chosen).
Figure 6. Example alarm message, plus alarm list screens showing unacknowledged conditions (black
background) and acknowledged alarms (grey background). After acknowledgement, the exit key (open
door icon) becomes active. J1939-standard abbreviations are used wherever possible, Note. “MS” = Most
Severe, “MOD”= Moderately Severe and “LS” = Least Severe.
The alarm list is accessed by pressing any key while an alarm pop-up is displayed, or by
pressing any of the first 4 keys to show the button bar, and then key 4. This screen displays
all current active alarms; when entered, Pin 11 External Alarm Output is deactivated (if the
function is available). Alarms not yet acknowledged are shown in grey on black. Alarms already
acknowledged are shown in black on grey. If engine hours data is available, the list indicates
when the alarm was initiated.
