To view or acknowledge status alarms using the display menus, see the menu flowchart in 
Figure 2-17. Note that the Acknowledge All Alarms display function may be enabled or disabled. If 
disabled, the Acknowledge All Alarms screen is not displayed and alarms must be acknowledged 
individually.

ProLink II provides two ways to view status alarm information:

•

The Status window displays the current status of all possible alarms, including Ignore alarms. 
A green LED indicates “inactive” and a red LED indicates “active.” The acknowledgment 
status bit is not shown, and you cannot acknowledge alarms from the Status window. Alarms 
are organized into three categories: Critical, Informational, and Operational. 

•

The Alarm Log window lists all active and all inactive but unacknowledged Fault and 
Information alarms. The transmitter automatically filters out Ignore alarms. A green LED 
indicates “inactive but unacknowledged” and a red LED indicates “active.” Alarms are 
organized into two categories: High Priority and Low Priority. You can view and acknowledge 
alarms from the Alarm Log window.
