Alarms
Understanding Alarm Icons
Alarm icons, which appear in the left-most column of the alarms screen and on the alarms
indicator button if there is an existing alarm, are distinguished by their shape and color.
Their meaning is explained in Tab le 4 .
Viewing Active and Historic Alarms
You can view alarms by three different categories:
• Active alarms: These are alarms that require attention. All alarms that are currently
active appear when you view this category.
• Historic alarms: After an alarm condition has been resolved, the alarm is reclassified
as historic. The 20 most recent historic alarms appear when you view this category.
• All alarms: All active alarms and the 20 most recent historic alarms appear when you
view this category. The alarms are listed in chronological order.
The Alarms screen defaults to active alarms, as in Figure 6, p. 16. Note that the Active
Alarms button in location appears shaded in this figure, which indicates that you are
viewing active alarms. To view a different category, touch Historic Alarms or All Alarms.
The button you select becomes shaded and the list appears.
Sorting Alarms
To sort alarms by a category other than date and time, touch one of the other column
headings in the table. The column heading responds by changing to blue, and the alarms
table re-sorts according to the blue column heading. If you touch the blue column
heading again, the column changes the order from ascending to descending.
You can sort the alarms table by:
• Date/Time (the default sort): Most recent alarms are at the top.
• Severity: Active alarms are at the top (if you are viewing both active and historic
alarms), followed by the most severe, followed by the most recent.
• Description: Alarms are sorted alphanumerically by name, followed by the most
recent.
• Status: Alarms are sorted according to active/historic status (if you are viewing both
active and historic alarms), followed by the most recent.
