To select an item from any displayed list, just press the line that contains it. If your fingertips are
too large or if you do not feel at ease with this method, you can use the large arrow key buttons
available at the bottom of each tab.
In all tabs, except readings, up and down arrow key buttons are available to move through each
item of the displayed list:
In the Alarms, Blocked and History tabs, it allows you to move the selection highlight over
the previous or next alarm message.
In the System State tab, there are two sets of up and down arrow key buttons: one under the
selection pane on the left, and another under the display pane on the right. Use the left set to
select an information page to display in the right pane, and the right one to scroll through the
displayed page.
Blocked, History and System State tab also have home and end buttons that allow you to jump
the selection highlight to the first or last item of the list. These buttons are represented by up and
down double-arrows.
The Readings tab has a slightly different navigation scheme.
The index of the currently displayed readings page is displayed on the left, with the total number
of pages available. On the right, two large arrow key buttons allow you to navigate through the
different pages. If your configuration contains a lot of readings pages, we suggest you add Change
page buttons to each page, to customize the navigation for your needs (see “Creating a User-
Defi
ned Readings Page”, page 140).
16.6.2 Managing Alarms
If you previously defined alarm conditions for this Annunciator instance, you will have to manage
the alarms that will be triggered when these conditions will be met.
When an alarm condition is met for a given alarm input, this condition is detected by the
Annunciator, which:
turns on the sound warning system, to alert the operator that something requires its attention;
adds the data point to the Alarms page, as an alarm message that uses the text and
background colors configured for the severity level of the condition (major or minor). The
alarm message will be preceded by the ‘A’ letter, displayed on a red background.
