Function 2.2.11 Alarm LEDs show which relay is in the alarm state When the menu item LEd is activated, the alarm LED AL1 indicates that K1 is in the alarm state. When AL2 lights up, K2 is in the alarm state. An alarm relay cannot switch to the alarm state unless an alarm category has been assigned to it.
