What does the orange light on the Halocarbon alarm panel indicate?

The orange light on the Halocarbon alarm panel specifically indicates that a leak has been detected within the last 12 hours. This is an important warning for personnel, as it serves as an immediate alert requiring attention and potential action to mitigate any risks associated with that detected leak.

Understanding this is crucial in environments where halocarbon gases are used or stored, as they can pose significant safety hazards. Immediate awareness of a recent leak allows for prompt investigation and remediation, protecting both personnel and equipment from harm.

The other situations indicated by different light colors would not apply here, as they correspond to other conditions such as potential hazards or varying levels of alert concerning gas concentrations. Each color on the panel serves a distinct purpose in communicating specific information about the system's status.
