condition in the system that may or may not require immediate
corrective action. A red colored lamp illuminates when a hazardous
condition exists that requires immediate corrective action.

switch provides variable intensity down to a preset minimum dim level
for the green lamps and some of the amber lamps (when in the NIGHT
