How do manufacturer alarms reach Alpha?

Alpha takes over the alarms that inverters and batteries raise themselves, with the manufacturer's code and name. The platform turns them into a severity and a priority, and for a battery a safety alarm always wins.

Why it matters

A manufacturer alarm often points straight at the cause, before a rule sees the consequence. The priority decides who gets notified and which SLA clock runs. An unknown battery code without a name is hard to handle.

How to do it

  1. Open Alarms, choose Faults and then the Current view. Manufacturer alarms are listed there with the other alarms. Open in Alpha
  2. Battery alarms are also on the battery page under Battery alarms (BMS/PCS). Choose the site first. Open in Alpha
  3. To name an unknown battery code: open Settings, tab Mappings. Under Unknown codes and fields choose Map on the code. Open in Alpha
  4. Fill in Name, Severity and if needed Canonical code, and choose Save. The mapping then shows under Own mappings.
