Managing card alarms
The SSP-3801 card features a series of alarms that can alert you to the occurrence of an
event, a change of status, or of a specific parameter value. The Alarms page contains the
entire list of available alarms of which some can be configured with different alarm levels
according to your requirements. The alarms are divided into two main categories: system
alarms and input alarms. For a description of the system alarms, see
About System Alarms
on page 51. For input alarms, see About Input Alarms on page 54.
Alarms are color coded to quickly display the status of a given alarm. Alarms in green
indicate normal status. When triggered, the alarm changes color depending on its

• Red indicates a major alarm
• Yellow indicates a minor alarm.

web page. It automatically displays the first active alarm. If a connection alarm is triggered
