What does Current Monitoring Alarm mean?

Hello,
What is a "Current Monitoring Alarm" in layman's terms? Can someone provide a basic explanation or definition of a Current Monitoring message and its possible causes. I'm looking for tips on troubleshooting this type of fault from the perspective of a maintenance technician. Thank you!

What does a current monitoring alarm mean?

A current monitoring alarm can mean two things. Either it can mean there is excessive AC or DC current in the circuit being monitored, or it could mean that the current monitoring system has failed.

You will have to get creative to determine which problem you have. You'll either need an ammeter, or spare parts to perform a "maintenance tech swap".
