The alert system
The system continuously checks for dangerous situations and system faults while running.
Alert message types
There are two types of messages:
• Alarms
- Generated when conditions are detected that may critically effect the capability or
performance of the system. You must critically examine all alarm messages to
determine their cause and effect
• Warnings
- Informing you of conditions that could result in unwanted system response or possible
failure
Alert indication
When an alert situation occurs, a siren will sound and the alert icon will become active. The
alert pop-up will show alert cause, followed by the name of the device that generated the
alert.
A single alert is displayed with the name of the alert as the title, and with details for the alarm.
If more than one alert is activated simultaneously, the alert pop-up can display multiple
alerts. The alerts are listed in the order they occur with the alert activated first at the top. The
remaining alerts are available in the Active alerts dialog.
Alert icons
The alert icon will remain in the status panel until the alert is acknowledged and rectified.
The table below shows alert icon and behavior depending on if the alert is active,
acknowledged, transferred or rectified.
