Normal Indications This section explains the indications provided on the front-panel LCD and the indicators of the ASMi-450.

Display

The normal message displayed in the top row is ALARM BUFFER. However, if no alarm is stored in the alarm buffer (ALM indicator off), the ASMi-450 will continue displaying the last user-selected display.

In addition, the ASMi-450 will automatically abort the current activity and will redisplay the ALARM BUFFER message if no front-panel button is pressed for 1 minute, thereby ensuring that it will not remain in an indeterminate state even if the operator does not complete a configuration activity.

When the top row shows ALARM BUFFER, the second row displays the following information:

During normal operation, the second row should show EMPTY (no alarm messages).

If the alarm buffers contains alarms, you will see SCROLL in the left-hand field of the second row, and CLEAR in the right-hand field.

The alarms can be displayed by bringing the cursor under SCROLL, and then pressing ENTER: you can now scroll between the alarms stored in the alarm buffer.

To interpret the alarm messages displayed in the second row, refer to Table 5-1.
