Which statement is true about RED steady status?

Which statement is true about RED steady status?

• A. Unacknowledged supervisory condition.
• B. Acknowledged supervisory condition.
• C. Alarm point secure.
• D. Tamper.

Answer: (B)

In alarm monitoring, colors and how the indicator behaves tell you what state a point is in. Red usually signals a supervisory or alarm condition, and the “steady” versus “flashing” behavior shows whether someone has acknowledged it or not. A red steady status means the supervisory condition has been acknowledged by an operator. The event is recognized and being tracked, but it’s not in an active, unacknowledged alert state. That’s why this option fits: the condition is acknowledged, not unacknowledged, and it isn’t describing an alarm point being secure or a tamper event, which would show up with different indicators or wording.
