It looks to me like there is an alert:

SHELL:\>get l302.heartbeat.*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<EVLAMessage location='ea01-l302-1' timestamp='56568.8098551' >
   <device name='L302'>
     <monitor name='HEARTBEAT' type='digital' value='1' alert_arm='1' 
alert_on1='1' alert='0' a_period='600' s_period='0' o_period='0' 
aa_period='50' msg='' />
   </device>
</EVLAMessage>

What is the documented action if the alert is raised?
and, is the monitor point actually hooked to anything?
