You cannot clear alert messages shown on the LCD display from the TMOS console. In addition, the Alarm LED may continue to reflect an elevated alert status (by display a steady or blinking Red or Amber state) after LCD alert messages are cleared.
The alarm state does not clear. The Alarm LED may indicate a previous alert state that has been acknowledged/cleared and is no longer accurate.
