Overview

When an alarm for the monitored parameter becomes active:
Figure 4-1
(1) Alarm messages appear in the message field in the order of priority.
(2) The measurement value flashes. The color (red, yellow) indicates the alarm category (high
priority, medium priority). If the alarm is a low priority (white) note, the measurement
value is not flashing.
(3) In some cases a message in the digit or waveform field gives more detailed information
using the color of the parameter.
An audible alarm is also triggered, and the alarm LEDs on the monitor side panel indicate the
alarm level. If enabled, also the alarm light flashes red (high priority) or yellow (medium priority)
according to alarm levels. Refer to "Default Configuration Worksheet" for more information
about priorities and escalating.
