🔍 Key Concepts

• Alarm annunciator purpose in an engine room monitoring system • Difference between acknowledging an alarm and clearing or resetting an alarm • How alarms should behave while the fault or abnormal condition still exists

💭 Think About

• Think about what the system should continue to do while the machinery fault is still present. Should any part of the warning remain active? • Consider what the acknowledge button is meant to achieve for the watchstander. Does it fix the problem or just change how the alarm is presented? • Ask yourself: if the problem hasn’t been corrected yet, what should the panel still show the engineer so the condition is not forgotten?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option keeps a persistent visual indication as long as the abnormal condition exists, even after acknowledgment. • Check which choices incorrectly suggest that pressing acknowledge completely clears all signs of the alarm while the fault may still be present. • Confirm that the chosen description matches how a typical engine room alarm panel prevents the watch from losing track of a still‑existing fault.
