Amber Steady indicates what condition has occurred in the last 12 hours?

• A. All conditions normal
• B. A fault exists
• C. An alarm has occurred in the last 12 hours
• D. The most recent measurement exceeded the alarm level

Answer: (C)

Amber steady shows that an alarm event happened within the recent time window. It doesn’t mean everything is normal or that a fault is currently active, and it isn’t simply stating that the latest reading exceeded the alarm level. Instead, this status flags that an alarm occurred sometime in the last 12 hours and the system is now in a steady state regarding that event. When you see it, you’d check the alarm history to identify what happened and when, and determine if action is needed.
