5.2.4 Alarm Indications
In the event of a failure, the Active Alarm display indicates detected alarms and items
to check to correct the alarm condition. Major alarms also cause the red LED to flash.
Press either UP or DOWN to stop Auto Scroll. The arrows appearing at the right-hand
side of the display text indicate keys to press to show the next item in the menu. Use
UP or DOWN to select the alarm of interest. Press ENTER to select the alarm and
display diagnostic information. Press ESCAPE to return to the alarm list.
To assist the operator in troubleshooting an active alarm condition, a Help sub-menu
offers possible remedies relating to the displayed alarm. To access the Active Alarm
Help sub-menu, scroll to the alarm of interest and press ENTER. The diagnostic
information autoscrolls initially. Enter manual scroll mode by pressing either UP or
DOWN. Press DOWN to scroll through the list of remedies.
Alarms are classified in two categories:
Major Alarms are indications of a serious failure within the GMX Power Supply,
such as a loss of output voltage or a failed battery charger. Any situation that causes
output failure is considered a Major Alarm. Major alarms require immediate action by
the operator to correct the failure. To correct major alarms, follow the Smart Display
on-screen instructions.
Minor Alarms indicate a less serious failure, such as defective RTS or loss of utility
power. Corrective action can be delayed for a short time. To correct, follow the Smart
Display on-screen instructions.
The alarm matrices on the following pages indicate the MAJOR/MINOR active
alarms, the probable cause, and troubleshooting items to check to correct the alarm
condition.
If only one alarm is active, the alarm list is bypassed and the display shows diagnostic information for the
single active alarm.
