10.54 Maintenance – Test Alarms
The internally generated alarms can be simulated and tested using these fields.
Alarm:
The available alarms that can be simulated and tested.
Status:
If there is no alarm state present on an Alarm Relay, then its Status will display ‘Inactive’, and its background colour will be
green. If there is an alarm state present on an Alarm Relay, then its Status will display ‘active’, and its background colour
will be red.
Email and SNMP Alarms will display ‘Idle’ if no corresponding communications message is in progress and its background
colour will be green. If a communications message is in progress, its Status will display ‘Sending’ and its background colour
will be yellow.
Test:
Clicking the Test button forces the corresponding Relay and Alarm LED status to change for a period of several seconds.
The Test will also generate a History Alarm Event Log entry and, if configured and enabled, relevant Email, SNMP and
Manager Message Status messages. These will be identified as being Test messages. The Test message or Log entry will
indicate status changes for the default Alarm Relay mapping, regardless of the actual alarm source mapping.
When the Email and SNMP Test button is clicked, the ASM will attempt to send the relevant Test message.
Unlike on the Communications Configuration page, these two tests are not checked to see if the feature is configured and
enabled. That is, if the Email and SNMP function has not been configured and enabled on the Communications
Configuration page, no Test alarm message will be sent, despite what the Test Status indicates.
