Alarms Page BIT Details

Expanded details of specific BIT failure can be reviewed from the Alarms page. Operators can access the Alarms
page by selecting the Alarms action field located at the bottom of user menus. The Alarms page will list the following
BIT details:
• Alarm Timestamp
• Alarm Description
• Alarm Summary
• Alarm BIT Error Code
Alerts are retained on the alarms page until the system component returns to its fully functioning state. Restoring a
component's function might be accomplished by restarting the system, running a BIT test, or the component may
require maintenance. The software is capable of storing up to 16 alert messages only. Additional alerts are added
by dropping the previous alerts with the oldest time stamp.
