Transmitter Alarm Acknowledge
|
 |
When any transmitter channel with enabled alarms goes into alarm the transmitter
is said to have an unacknowledged alarm. See Transmitter Alarms.
Unacknowledged
alarms are identified on the Gateway List View in four ways:
- The Alarm Group will Turn RED/ORANGE?? The Hover Text will confirm how many
transmitters have unacknowledged alarms in this Alarm Group
- The Unacknowledged Alarm ICON will be illuminated on the Warnings Bar.
- A colour coded block will appear on the List View Summary Grid, and on the
Transmitter Daily Summary View.
- The channel name is shown with a solid red or blue background in the Transmitter
Daily Summary View.
To acknowledge an alarm navigate to the Transmitter Detail View, Transmitter Tabular
View, or the Alarm View. Click on
button to be taken to the
Alarm Acknowledge/Snooze Dialogue.
All unacknowledged alarms for all
channels across all Periods are acknowledged together in one operation. You are
advised to use the Events Calendar to view the alarm Events that will be acknowledged
by this operation. There could be many.
There will be a text box where the
reason(s) for the alarm can be entered, along with all actions taken.
Figure 1 - Alarm Acknowledge Snooze Dialogue
All unacknowledged alarms for all channels across all Periods are acknowledged
together in one operation. You are advised to use the Events Calendar to view the
alarm Events that will be acknowledged by this operation, as there could be many.
There is a text box where the reasons(s) for the alarm can be entered, along
with all actions taken. When you have typed your reason you can then select to either
Acknowledge the alarm or Snooze the alarm. If Snoozing then you must select a repeat
alarm time, i.e. the time that you wish to Snooze the alarm before being reminded
again.
If you choose to snooze an alarm you will still have the opportunity
to Acknowledge the alarm again. In fact while the transmitter/channel is in alarm
and therefore visible on the Alarm View then you can snooze and acknowledge the
alarm many times.
Once the alarm is acknowledged, however, and the reason
for the alarm clears then you will not be able to record another reason for the
alarm.
The action of Alarm Acknowledge or Snooze is recorded in the Audit
Trail.
