2.1.1 Event announcement
Depending on how the MM8000 is configured, the following occurs when a new
event is triggered:
• The event counter that corresponds with the event category becomes active.
• An audio message or horn sounds. This sound can be configured to change by
category and risk level.
• A new event icon and event description display in the event list.
The operator can select the event manually, or MM8000 can be configured to notify
the operator of the event in the following ways:
• An explicit message box display that allows the operator to go directly to event
treatment.
• The new event is automatically selected and the treatment window is displayed.
In the event list, event icons are visible at all times and they are listed in order of
severity, with the highest on the list being the most critical. After an event has been
noticed, its level of severity decreases. When this occurs, its position in the list
changes as well.
The event list displays events that have occurred
The event list shows the events that have occurred in the system along with impor-
tant information about those events, such as time of occurrence. The user profile
configuration regulates which events are displayed on the screen and which ac-
tions the operators is enabled to perform. The operator treats an event by selecting
it from the list, and following the instructions provided by the MM8000. Optionally,
the MM8000 can be configured to open the event automatically, by priority criteria.

tation of new events
Whenever a new event occurs, three things happen to ensure that the operator is
aware of the change:

− A new flashing event icon appears in the event list
