Monitoring Alarms
After defini
ng and enabling alarms, you can quickly check if a ny error condition
exists by looking (or listening) for the notification you de fined (text, icon, logging,
SNMP trap, beep). (See page 21, Status Bar Icons.) Selecting audible response
(Beep) or the Ground Closure output response can help you notice alarms that you
may miss if the notification is text o r icon only. The latter can be used to drive a
light or audible alarm when one or more alarms are triggered. (See page 114, To
Set Allo
wed Alarm Responses.)
To check the condition of a specific alarm, press the STATUS button. In the
Status menu, select Display Type and then select Alarm Status. One or more of
the following appear:
Indicator Description

shows if the error is present.

detected errors for at least 5 seconds.

5 seconds.
