alarms for Tracy
The EM2 knows that
you haven't started the engine yet and it doesn't think you need to be bothered
with a flashing alarm about low oil pressure and other out of limit things
until after you do.

Tracy,
I didn’t
initially hook up the alarm light on my system as I was concerned that it would
be going off all the time while I got everything working. Well today I
hooked it up. I wired P3-10 to the positive on a 5V LED and P3-2 to the
negative side. When I turned the EM-2 on, the light did not light.
The voltage was low and was flashing, but the alarm light was silent on the
issue. I did not have the EC-2 turned on and the engine was (of course)
not running. Just the EM-2 was on.
Is this expected
behavior? I thought the alarm would go off if anything was out of its
setting. The voltage was low so at least something was out. (I am
not concerned about this as I have a low voltage monitor which was telling me
at the time that I had low voltage.)
Thanks,
