fcd-2 maintains an alarm buffer. the buffer can store one alarm event of each type, and maximum of 100 alarms can be displayed on the supervision terminal.
alarms can be of two types, designated on and on/off:
1 an on/off alarm is displayed only when the alarm condition is present, and is automatically removed when the condition is cleared (if the alarm is being displayed, it will disappear only when the display is refreshed by scrolling).
2 an on-type alarm persists even after the event that caused the alarm condition is cleared.
messages displayed on the lcd and on the control terminal have a similar syntax.
table 5-1 presents in alphabetical order the alarm messages displayed on the fcd-2 lcd and control terminal, and lists the actions required to correct the alarm condition.
* the alarm messages marked with an asterisk (*) are displayed only on the supervision terminal.
