Viewing Historical Alarm Messages
Alarms that have been reset can be reviewed from the History Buers in the
Stat\History menu. SCode alarms which have been reset are stored in the ^SC
History Buer. XSCode alarms which have been reset are stored in the ^XSC
History Buer.
Each History Buer contains a maximum of nine (9) alarms. The codes dis-
played represent past alarm conditions, with ^SC1/^XSC1 being the most
recent and ^SC9/^XSC9 being the oldest. If more than nine SCodes alarm ac-
cumulate in a buer, the oldest code is overwritten.
If two or more alarms are detected simultaneously, the displayed alarm SCode
is a sum of the primary codes. To resolve a non-primary SCode into its primary
codes, subtract the largest primary code from the displayed number. Continue
to subtract the largest primary code from the remainder until a primary code is
left.
Example:
The displayed SCode is “20”. The alarms detected are:
20 Total sum of all primary SCodes found
-16 w Dirty Cell [Possible-Cell-Contamination]
4 w No HC DP [Hydrocarbon-Dewpoint-Temperature-Not-Found]
To view the history of alarm messages (SCode or XSCode) detected by the

Stat\History sub-menus, or press to go to another main menu.
