The transmitter posts status alarms whenever a process variable exceeds its defined limits
or the transmitter detects a fault condition. You can view active alarms, and you can
acknowledge alarms.
8.4.1 View and acknowledge alarms using ProLink II
You can view a list containing all alarms that are active, or inactive but unacknowledged.
From this list, you can acknowledge individual alarms.
1. Choose ProLink > Alarm Log.
2. Choose the High Priority or Low Priority panel.
Note
The grouping of alarms into these two categories is hard-coded and is not affected by Status
Alarm Severity.
All active or unacknowledged alarms are listed:
• Red indicator: Alarm is currently active.
• Green indicator: Alarm is inactive but unacknowledged.
Note
Only Fault and Informational alarms are listed. The transmitter automatically filters out alarms
with Status Alarm Severity set to Ignore.
3. To acknowledge an alarm, check the Ack checkbox.
