3.9 Viewing and acknowledging alarms
The transmitter sets alarms whenever a process variable exceeds its defined limits or when the
transmitter detects a fault condition.
3.9.1 Viewing alarms
There are two ways to view alarms:
•Using the
Status window (see Figure 3-4). In this window, alarms are organized into three
panels:
Critical, Informational, and Operational. If an alarm is active, the associated tab is
highlighted. In each panel, active alarms are indicated with red lights; inactive alarms are
indicated with green lights. This window displays only current alarm data and does not display
alarm history.
•Using the
Alarm Log window (see Figure 3-5). In this window, alarms are organized into two
panels:
High Priority and Low Priority. These panels list all active alarms and all alarms that
are no longer active but have not been acknowledged:
- A red light indicates a currently active alarm.
- A green light indicates an alarm that is no longer active but has not been acknowledged.
Note: The organization of alarms in the Status and Alarm Log windows is predefined and is not
configurable. It is not affected by configured alarm severity.
Note: For information about a specific alarm condition, see your transmitter manual.
