2.8 Alarms, Warnings and Cautions
When an error occurs, the system will attempt to notify the user with an audible alarm.
The footer at the bottom of the display shows the highest priority alert of all the alerts that are oc-
curring.
When more than one alert is active, alerts other than the latest alert with the highest priority are
shown as “background alert icon” in the footer at the bottom of the display. The background alert
icon reflects the background alert’s priority as follows:
• Red triangle with “A”: Alarm level
• Yellow-orange circle with “W”: Warning level
• Yellow square with “C”: Caution level
Press the ALARM ACK key to acknowledge the alert and stop the audible alarm. When more than
one alert is active, acknowledge each individual alert.
Note: All notifications are stored in the Alert LOG.
Depending on your Alert mode, Alert ID can be in two formats, 3-digit or 4-digit, followed by in-
stance number (for example, “-1”).
See "ALERT MESSAGES" on page AP-7 for a full list of alert codes, their meanings and possible
remedies.
Alert priority
The level of priority, from highest to lowest, is ALARM WARNING CAUTION. For detailed
