Events and Alarms Panel


The Events and Alarms panel shows the TimeProvider's current active alarms. Alarms are ordered chronologically and the screen is updated each time a new alarms is raised or cleared on the element. Each field is described in the tables below.

The list of alarms can be sorted by clicking the column heading. Columns may also be moved by clicking in the header and dragging with the mouse.

Click the columns in the diagram below for a description of the field.

INPDISQ

The specified input has been Disqualified or Qualified as a possible system reference. The fault condition must be continuously present for the Fault Delay Time (FLTDELAY) before disqualifying the input as a possible reference. Once INPDISQ has been set, the alarm clears once the input signal is fault free for the Clear Delay Time (CLRDELAY)

T1

NSA

FLTDELAY

YES

INPLOS

The specified input port has Loss Of Signal. When LOS is detected, the input is immediately removed from the possible reference list. The LOS must be continuously present for the Fault Delay Time (FLTDELAY) before disqualifying the input as a possible reference. When the INPLOS is set, the alarm clears once the input signal is LOS free for the Clear Delay Time (CLRDELAY)

T1

NSA

IMMED

NO

INPFRQ

The specified input port's calculated received frequency is exceeding the pull-in range of the local oscillator. The received signal's calculated frequency alarmed condition will disqualify the input as a possible reference. When INPFRQ is set, the alarm clears once the input frequency is within the defined pull-in range limits

T1

NSA

IMMED

NO

INPPHASE

The specified input port has an excessive phase measurement that disqualifies it from being used

T1

NSA

IMMED

NO

EXDSC

Input has had excessive discontinuities. This is indicated when there are more than three signal faults of the same type within a 5 minute window. The alarm clears once the 5 minute window contains less than 3 alarms of the same type

FLTDELAY

YES

INPAIS

The specified input port is receiving an Alarm Indication Signal. When AIS is detected, the input is immediately removed from the possible reference list. The AIS must be continuously present for the Fault Delay Time (FLTDELAY) before disqualifying the input as a possible reference. When INPAIS is set, the alarm clears once the input signal is AIS free for the Clear Delay Time (CLRDELAY)

INPOOF

The specified input port is receiving an Out Of Frame signal. When OOF is detected, the input is immediately removed from the possible reference list. The OOF must be continuously present for the Fault Delay Time (FLTDELAY) before disqualifying the input as a possible reference. When INPOOF is set, the alarm clears once the input signal is OOF free for he Clear Delay Time (CLRDELAY)

INPFRQ

The specified input ports calculated received frequency is exceeding the pull-in range of the local oscillator.
