DTAM Micro Alarm Screens
A typical alarm screen appears like this on the DTAM Micro:
Motor Overload
PRESS ENTER TO CLEAR
The last line of an alarm screen automatically defaults to: Press Enter to
Clear. If you edit this text, make sure that the operator knows to press the
[
] key to clear the alarm.
DTAM Plus Alarm Screens
A typical alarm screen appears like this on the DTAM Plus:
Mixer OL is Tripped
03:19 April 28 98
Press ’Y’ to Clear
The last line of an alarm screen automatically defaults to: Press ’Y’ to Clear.
If you edit this text, make sure that the operator knows to press the [Y] key to
clear the alarm.
Multiple Alarm Screens
If using the background monitor (DTAM Plus only) as a trigger source and
additional alarm or printer form screens are detected while an alarm screen is
being displayed, the DTAM will stack the alarm screens in temporary storage
on a first-in first-out basis (up to 128 alarm screens).
An alarm screen can only appear in temporary storage once. If an alarm is
sent to the DTAM and it already exists in the alarm stack, the new alarm is
ignored. The only way to clear the alarm screen from the display or the
alarm stack is for the operator to acknowledge it by pressing the [Y] key
(DTAM Plus) or [
] key (DTAM Micro). When an alarm screen is
displayed, all keys are non-functional except the alarm acknowledge keys.
