17 Alarm Management
Subjects of this Section:
◆ Display of alarms
◆ Switching the acoustic signal off
◆ Acknowledgement of alarms
◆ Setting the sounding of the acoustic signal
◆ Monitoring of the Computer
If the radar wants to draw the operator’s attention to a situation
which might require his intervention, it generates an alarm. This
alarm is displayed in the alarm list which opens automatically in the
Multidisplay.
Many alarms are supplemented by an acoustic signal
- see Section 18.
Behaviour when an Alarm Occurs
1. Switch off the acoustic signal (if there is one) as follows:
In the alarm list, click on the ACK (= acknowledge) button or
on the coloured horn symbol. As a result, the acoustic signal is
switched off on the radar indicator that is being operated.
2. Immediately obtain information about the causes of the alarm,
about the system status and about possible system reac-
tions, and - if necessary - immediately perform all necessary
actions for the avoidance of possible danger.
3. Removing the cause of the alarm: If the alarm has occurred due to a cause that can be removed,
that cause must be removed as quickly as possible; see also Section 29.
Many alarms disappear when the cause disappears. Acknowledgement is then unnecessary.
4. The alarm must be acknowledged if the situation allows or
requires such acknowledgement:
In the alarm list, press the ACK button or click on the coloured
horn signal. As a result, the alarm which is marked in colour is
usually acknowledged, i.e. it is removed from the alarm list. As
a result of this, alarms which have also been distributed to
other items of equipment within the system are acknowledged
there too. If some other alarm is marked, the alarm which is to
be acknowledged must be marked beforehand by clicking.
1)
.
If alarms are also distributed to other items of equipment within
the system, or if the system deviates from the behaviour
described above, e.g.
- if the alarm cannot be acknowledged at all or throughout the entire system, or
- if acknowledgement causes something to be initiated or enabled, or
- if an acknowledged alarm is repeated for as long as the cause of the alarm continues to exist,
1)
If the display of the list has been switched off even although an alarm that can be acknowledged has not been acknowledged, that alarm
is automatically marked as soon as the list is opened again. Only in this case is it necessary, after opening of the alarm list, to mark the
most recent alarm by clicking before acknowledgement.
