Action Alarm (1) Schematic symbol (2) Action alarm |
The action alarm always connects to connector contact 24 of the VIMS main module. The intermittent SOUNDING of the action alarm (category 3) tells the operator to shutdown the machine immediately. The VIMS main module will SOUND the action alarm, whenever a category 3 warning exists.
A category 2 special warning will sound this alarm continuously. This indicates an urgent need to modify machine operation.
The action alarm does not operate when the engine is stopped. The VIMS main module gets information from the engine control in order to determine that the engine is running. The action alarm SOUNDS, as required. The action alarm SOUNDS when the engine is running and a category 2 special warning or a category 3 warning is present.
