Responding to alerts
An
alert
is similar to an alarm. An alert notifies you of action you need to take to:
n
Complete manual tasks within an overall procedure, for example, shutdown
procedures. (These types of alerts are linked to Interactive Instructions.)
n
Avoid problems if a condition is not fixed.
The priority of the condition is not high enough to be an alarm.
For example, the gas pressure in Pipe A has been rising steadily over the last couple of days,
most probably due a build-up of waste particles on the inner lining. This is leading to a
degradation in process performance. An alert is raised to indicate that pipe cleaning must take
place in the next week.
Tip:
The Alert box in the Status Bar flashes white if there are any unacknowledged
alerts.
