ASTAT value is “True” (Non-zero) if this alarm is currently On (Unsafe), or “False” (Zero) if it is
currently Off (Safe).
ASER (Alarm Serial Number) is assigned by the Equipment. Its value begins at “1” and is incremented by
1 for each alarm reported.
ALPY (Alarm Priority) is always zero.
CLOCK indicates the date and time of the alarm change.
Equipment constant “Wbits5” controls whether the Equipment sends S5F71 with W-bit “1” (Reply
