ALARM STATUS
Each of the four characters gives the status of four alarms. eg: the first alarm character (character
22) gives the status of alarm numbers 93, 92, 68, 67 with 0110067X and 0110068X software or
68, 67, 41, 40 with 0110066X software, see following table.
These four alarms are given the decimal numbers 8, 4, 2, 1, respectively.
When an alarm condition exists this number is output. If more than one alarm condition is present
then the numbers are summed.
The actual alarm status character is the hexadecimal number equivalent to the decimal number.
