TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Monitoring Alarms 127Monitoring AlarmsThe Current Status form (Monitor > Alarms > Current Status) shows thecurrent status of alarms in the base station. The Service Kit must be connectedand logged on to the base station.LED-like icons indicate the status:Q Red (flashing) means that the alarm is active.Q Green means that the monitored condition is OK and that there is no alarm.Q Gray means that the alarm has been disabled or that the monitored conditionis not available; for example, Final 2 alarms are gray if there is no Final 2stage.Alarms are triggered when a monitored condition crosses a defined threshold.Some thresholds are fixed and built into the module firmware. Others areconfigurable in Configure > Alarms > Thresholds. Some parameters such ashigh voltage and high reverse power have two thresholds. When theconfigurable threshold is crossed, the base station generates an alarm. When thebuilt-in threshold is crossed, the base station responds by protecting itself againstdamage.Tip: Use Task Manager to configure an automatic response toalarms. In general, each alarm has an equivalent Task Managerinput. When the alarm occurs, Task Manager executes any taskswith that alarm as an input.
