- The Alarm digital output to operate.
3- WARNINGS: These conditions cause:

Alarms operate in a first occurring basis:
-If a shutdown alarm is present, following shutdown alarms, loaddumps and warnings will not be
accepted,
-If a loaddump is present, following loaddumps and warnings will not be accepted,
-If a warning is present, following warnings will not be accepted.
Alarms may be of LATCHING type following programming.
For latching alarms, even if the alarm condition is removed, the alarms will stay on and disable the
operation of the genset.

limits.
If multiple alarms are present, they can be scanned by pressing
the MENU button.
