Usage Example
Common Alarm Parameters
Wear Metal Alarms
Wear Metal Alarms
Triggered when wear metal concentrations exceed normal thresholds:
- High Iron (Fe)
- Elevated Copper (Cu)
- Abnormal Chromium (Cr)
- Excessive Aluminum (Al)
Contaminant Alarms
Contaminant Alarms
Triggered by contamination detection:
- Water contamination
- Fuel dilution
- Glycol presence (coolant leak)
- High soot levels
Physical Property Alarms
Physical Property Alarms
Triggered by changes in oil properties:
- Viscosity increase/decrease
- High particle counts
- Abnormal TAN (Total Acid Number)
- Low TBN (Total Base Number)
Operational Alarms
Operational Alarms
Triggered by operational conditions:
- Overdue sampling
- Missed maintenance
- Critical asset status change
Acknowledgment Flow
Acknowledging an alarm does not close it—it indicates that the alarm has been reviewed and action is being taken. Link recommendations to track corrective actions.
