8. Alarm
8.1 Introduction
8.1.1 Alarm indication
When an alarm protection becomes active in the system, an active alarm is added to the alarm list. The alarm can give both a
visual and audible indication (subject to design of the system).
Alarms, typically, require action and acknowledgement before they clear from the alarm list.
An alarm may also have a latch as an extra level of protection, so that in addition to acknowledging the alarm, you also have
to unlatch the alarm before the alarm action can be deactivated.
