The alert system
The system will continuously check for danger situations and system faults while running.
Type of alerts
There are 2 alert types in the system:
• Alarms: This is the system's highest priority alert, activated when situation occurs that
might result in collision, or for conditions that critically effect the capability or
performance of the system. An alarm is accompanied by an audible signal, and the alarm
icon flashes until the alarm is acknowledged.
• Cautions: This is information about danger and caution objects that require attention.
Cautions have no audible signal.
Alert notifications
When an alert is triggered, the alert appears in the Alerts panel.
The alerts are displayed in a sorted order. The sort order is first by state (i.e. not
acknowledged before rectified before acknowledged), then severity (i.e. alarm before
caution), then age.
Alarms have different states:
• Active - not acknowledged, not silenced
• Active - acknowledged
• Rectified - not acknowledged
When an alert has been both rectified and acknowledged, it will disappear from the Alerts
panel.
Cautions cannot be acknowledged, and they disappear from the alert list when the condition
is rectified.
The table below shows alert icon and behavior depending on alert state.
