Alarm priorities
Depending on the potential risks, the alarms are classified in high, medium and low priority
alarms. An alarm of higher priority overrides an existing alarm of lower priority. If more
than one alarm condition of equal priority is determined, only the one that occurred first is
reported.
The following table explains the three different conditions.
