Alarm Flags

An alarm message will be shown if any alarm condition occurs. A message will pop up on the screen until the alarm condition is resolved. The operator can press “OK” on this pop-up to hide the screen temporarily, but if the alarm condition is still unresolved, then the message will reappear after a short delay. During an alarm condition, a visual alarm will be activated. The following is a list of all alarm names and descriptions:

The dump valve opens as soon as you touch the “Reload Off” button. The button then changes to show “Reload On”.

Note: The system will stop if you attempt to turn the manual reload on. This could be devastating if you are running the extruder.
