Alert Display

To view a list of all the currently active alerts,
including alerts acknowledged on the status
indicator, click on the Alerts in the menu list,
or right click on the Alert Status Indicator.
The Alerts window shows the current alert
state and provides a description and a means
of acknowledging alerts.
Alerts are divided into Alarms, Warnings and
Cautions. Alarms are messages that require
immediate attention or user action, whereas
Warnings and Cautions indicate less critical
conditions. The most recent alerts are shown
at the top of the list.
You can acknowledge alarms and warning either by clicking on the
selected alert in the list, or by clicking on the ACK ALARM button on the
control panel. Cautions do not need to be acknowledged and, if active, will
be displayed in yellow with the system colour background.
The alerts list will change indication as follows:
•
An unacknowledged Alarm whose condition is active will appear
with a flashing red background.
•
An unacknowledged Warning whose condition is active will appear
with a flashing yellowish-orange background.
•
Cautions do not need to be acknowledged and do not flash.
•
An acknowledged alert whose condition is still active will remain
listed in the Alert Display window and will be displayed with
coloured lettering (red for Alarms, yellowish-orange for Warnings
and yellow for Cautions).
•
An unacknowledged alert whose condition is no longer active will
appear with a flashing grey background.
•
An acknowledged alert whose condition is no longer active is
removed from the Alert Display window.
