6.3.10 Alarms and Fault Messages
An event triggers the Alarm/Trip state of the SCP. The Alarm/Trip state is indicated with a
red LED. An event message appears on the screen every few seconds.
ALARM/TRIP in REMOTE mode
The fault display periodically switches from the indication
view to the alarm/trip view and back to normal view.
It is still possible to navigate in the MENU (click the EXIT
button) but the Alarm/Trip state will resume after 10
seconds.
The blinking display can be disabled by changing the
panel to local control.
Alarms/trip can be cleared in the parameter/signal group
commands.
Alarm has higher priority than Limiter, meaning that there
is a moving “A” letter in the running symbol even if there is
an active limiter.
Example: “ALM/TRIP 12” = 0 +4 +8 (see table below)

Communication Alarms active.
