What does Yellow color indicate in the alarm color coding?

• A. Red - Alarm Condition
• B. Green - Secure Pending
• C. Yellow - Access Pending or Alarm point in Access
• D. Blue - Trouble or Failure

Answer: (C)

In alarm color coding, colors quickly signal different statuses at a glance. Yellow is used for access-related states rather than an active alarm. It means an access action is in progress or awaiting the next step—specifically, Access Pending—or that the alarm point is configured as an Access point and is operating in access-control mode. This highlights that attention should be on credential checks or door/access status, not on a live alarm that requires immediate intervention. For contrast, red indicates an actual alarm condition needing immediate response, green signals secure or pending secure status, and blue points to a trouble or failure condition.
