What alarm level is indicated by a red flashing light?

The alarm level indicated by a red flashing light signifies a critical condition, specifically that a halocarbon has been detected. This alert is essential for safety and operational integrity, as the presence of a halocarbon can imply a release of potentially harmful substances which requires immediate attention and response. The red flashing light serves as a clear visual warning to operators that action is necessary to address this critical issue, making it distinct from other alarm levels that may not indicate immediate danger or require urgent action.

Normal operation, system faults, and alarms that have occurred within the past 12 hours are associated with different indicators and management protocols and do not carry the same immediate urgency as the critical halocarbon detection.
