If a major or minor alarm is triggered within your HMX6800+BC8
module, the Status LED will light red.
Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software
control applications (for example, + Pilot Lite or Pilot). You can only
differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control
application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online
help for more information.
The following settings can be made for each alarm within Pilot or
Navigator software:
Table 3-12. Alarm Options

Enable/Disable This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If
the alarm is Enabled, an alarm condition will generate
an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will
be ignored.
Alarm priority This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will
be reported as major or minor. The range is 1 - 10. A
priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of
5 or lower is a minor alarm.
Trigger (s) This option determines how long an alarm condition
must exist (in seconds) before the alarm is triggered. If
the alarm level is reached for less time than the Trigger

duration from 0 to 7200 (or two hours). If this option is
set to 0 and the alarm condition exists for any period of
time, then the alarm will trigger.

must be in abate in order for the alarm to be turned off.
Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 seconds (or two
hours). If this option is set to 0 and the alarm condition
ceases for any period of time, then the alarm will clear.
