3.4 Faults, Alarms, Status
This section defines the active fault, alarm, and status indicators, their causes, and the associated
system operations performed upon their detection.
3.4.1 Faults
A fault is defined as an undesirable system operating condition that could cause further damage to
the system or potentially drop the load. Once detected, faults may trigger an appropriate emergency
action such as transferring the load to an alternative power source. Many fault conditions can only be
resolved through Operator intervention or service by an LGS technician.
A fault condition must be valid for a certain amount of time before it is recognized as an active fault.
This prevents spurious signals from causing false fault detection and unnecessary state changes.
All fault occurrences are time-stamped and recorded in the Event Log for later analysis, and sent to
the Operator display.

Fault messages are displayed in reverse video, as compared with alarm messages which are displayed
in regular video.
