8.4 View and acknowledge status alerts
The transmitter posts status alerts whenever a process variable exceeds its defined limits
or the transmitter detects a fault condition. You can view active alerts, and you can
acknowledge alerts. Acknowledging alerts is not required.
8.4.1 View and acknowledge alerts using ProLink III
You can view a list containing all alerts that are active, or inactive but unacknowledged.
From this list, you can acknowledge individual alerts or choose to acknowledge all alerts at
once.
1. View alerts on the ProLink III main screen under Alerts.
All active or unacknowledged alerts are listed, and displayed according to the
following categories:
Category
Description
Failed: Fix Now A meter failure has occurred and must be addressed immediately.
Maintenance: Fix Soon A condition has occurred that can be fixed at a later time.
Advisory: Informational A condition has occurred, but requires no maintenance from you.
Notes
• All fault alerts are displayed in the Failed: Fix Now category.
• All information alerts are displayed in either the Maintenance: Fix Soon category or the
Advisory: Informational category. The category assignment is hard-coded.
• The transmitter automatically filters out alerts with Alert Severity set to Ignore.
2. To acknowledge a single alert, check the Ack checkbox for that alert. To
acknowledge all alerts at once, click Ack All.
