ALERT AND ERROR FUNCTION
When the application determines that an alert is required or and error has occurred, the monitor will change the color of the value displayed to:
- ORANGE for alerts
- RED for errors.
The color will persist until the condition is corrected.
If the TALK function is not disabled, then the application will also verbalise the alert or error.
This is convenient from the point of view that you do not have to keep looking at the unit to see what alert or error has occured.
For example when pulling a load uphill and passing a truck and getting an overboost or engine temp getting warm alert.
