Monitoring Alarms

TB8100 Service Kit User's Manual
The Current Status form (Monitor > Alarms > Current Status) shows the
current status of alarms in the base station. The Service Kit must be connected
and logged on to the base station.
LED-like icons indicate the status:
Red (flashing) means that the alarm is active.
Green means that the monitored condition is OK and that there is no alarm.
Gray means that the alarm has been disabled or that the monitored condition
is not available; for example, Final 2 alarms are gray if there is no Final 2
stage.
Alarms are triggered when a monitored condition crosses a defined threshold.
Some thresholds are fixed and built into the module firmware. Others are
configurable in Configure > Alarms > Thresholds. Some parameters such as
high voltage and high reverse power have two thresholds. When the
configurable threshold is crossed, the base station generates an alarm. When the
built-in threshold is crossed, the base station responds by protecting itself against
damage.
Use Task Manager to configure an automatic response to

alarms. In general, each alarm has an equivalent Task Manager
input. When the alarm occurs, Task Manager executes any tasks
with that alarm as an input.
