9.3  On Screen ALO Component Error Messages 
PMERail Max and Ultra continuously monitors the presence and condition of the ALO 
slew components. If any sensor, input, output, or other component fails, an error 
message will appear along the bottom of the display. In the event of a failure, ALL motion 
control relays will be operated, the cab mounted blue lamp will indicate that the RCI is 
NOT active, the display red LED will flash and the internal and external alarms will sound.
