Acknowledging an alarm verifies human awareness that a
potentially detrimental event has occurred or a condition exists with
a device that is outside its normal range of operation. You cannot
remove an alarm until you acknowledge it and until the alarm source
returns to a normal state (no longer in alarm).This procedure acknowledges
alarms from the alarm console.
A ConsoleRecipient exists in the station.
