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are no longer active but have not been acknowledged: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A green light indicates an alarm that is no longer active but has not been acknowledged.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.
