Anytime a yellow caution alert is triggered, the following simultaneous events occur:
•
If audio is connected and an audio alert exists for the particular alert, it will be
played.
Anytime a red warning alert is first triggered, the following simultaneous evens may occur:
•
If installed, the external alarm light will flash (for EMS-based alerts only).
•
If audio is connected and an audio alert exists for the particular alert, it will be
played.
•
If the alert is related to an on-screen parameter on the Engine Page, that
parameter’s value will flash and highlight red simultaneously.
Engine warning alerts are only triggered when their respective sensors are
configured as self-
clearing or latching alarms. If a sensor’s alarm is configured as
off, no alert will trigger, even if that sensor’s measurement enters a range defined
as red. Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide for more information
regarding alarm configuration.
Engine parameters only trigger alerts in the Message Notification Area and
Message Window when they enter their “red” ranges. In other words, “yellow”
caution ranges for engine parameters do not trigger alerts. Yellow caution ranges,
however, are visually annunciated via yellow highlighting on the Engine Page.
Message Window
The Message Window provides more detailed information about messages and alerts. Press the
rightmost button under the Message Notification Area to display the Message Window.
