Non-alarmed events in Alarm filters you will see all information events for retort A that do

not raise an alarm.
The Run log entry button in the filter dialog box is only enabled for service personnel.

select the event row in the table and tap Incident report (see Transferring Incident Report

Files in 6.2.7 File Transfer).

Event severity

There are four event severity levels and each level has a color code as shown in the following table.

6.2.5 Alarms

Peloris uses alarms to alert users when events of certain types occur. These events are mostly for

error conditions that require quick intervention, but alarms also activate for some normal conditions

that it is useful to be informed about, such as when a protocol has finished.

Severity level

request for user action. For example, an out-of-threshold
