The monitoring system displays various warnings and information about the condition of the machine. There are gauges and several alert indicators included on monitoring system display. Each gauge is dedicated to a parameter within a machine system. The monitoring system will allow the user to do the following:

  • Interpret status information

  • Interpret parameters

  • View OMM

  • View service intervals

  • Perform calibrations

  • Troubleshoot machine systems

Action Lamps (1)

The action lamps illuminate to show that a problem has occurred with the machine. The left action lamp will illuminate amber when a Level 1 warning is active and will flash when a Level 2 warning is active. The right action lamp will illuminate red when a Level 3 warning is active.
