Alarm messages and suggested actions

Displayed Alarm Message

Action Required

 

 

Air Block Interlock Open

• Verify that the air block panels are in place.

 

• Confirm that the wiring connections for the air block interlock switches are

 

secure.

 

 

Air Filter Clogged

• Verify the condition of the return air filters, and replace them if required.

 

• Check the pressure drop across the filters by reviewing the System status.

 

• Ensure that the pressure-sensing tubing is properly connected to the sensors.

 

• Verify that the ends of the pressure-sensing tubing are not blocked or placed

 

incorrectly.

 

• Verify that the correct filter is selected in the System Options menu (Path:

 

Main > Setup > System # > System Config > System Options).

 

 

Airflow Low

• Ensure that any field-installed dampers in the discharge duct are open.

 

• Ensure that any field-installed dampers in the return duct are open.

 

• Verify that the mode delay is not too short. If the mode delay is too short, the

 

Airflow Low alarm will occur after start-up and resolve itself after a few

 

minutes.

 

• Check the pressure drop across the filters, and replace the filters if necessary.

 

• Check the pressure drop across the evaporator coil on the Pressures screen

 

of the display interface (Path: Main Menu > Status > [Module] >

 

Pressures). The reading should be close to the recommended coil differential

 

pressure drops indicated in the table “Coil Differential Pressure Values” on

 

page 32. If the reading is too low based on Module size and options installed,

 

adjust the blower speed.

 

• Verify the proper operation of the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and

 

blower motors.

 

• Verify that the VFD overload alarm is not active.

 

 

Backup is Load Sharing

• A backup System is contributing to meet the room load.

 

• No action required. The backup will return to idle when the demand falls.

 

 

Backup System Idle

• A primary System has come back online after a failover or load-sharing

 

event.

 

• No action required.

 

 

Backup System Online

• Indicates that a System failover has occurred. The backup System has come

 

online because another online System either failed or was commanded off. A

 

System Comm Loss alarm is considered to be a System failure if the Comm

 

Loss Failover configuration setting is Yes (the default setting).

 

• Check the event log to determine the cause of the primary System failure.

 

 

Blower 1 Requires Maintenance

• Verify operation of Blower 1 and perform preventive maintenance.

 

• Reset the maintenance alarm for Blower 1 at the display interface.

 

 

Blower 2 Requires Maintenance

• Verify operation of Blower 2 and perform preventive maintenance.

 

• Reset the maintenance alarm for Blower 2 at the display interface.

 

 

Compressor 1 Requires

• Verify the operation of Compressor 1 and perform preventive maintenance.

Maintenance

• Reset the maintenance alarm for Compressor 1at the display interface.

 

 

Compressor 2 Requires

• Verify the operation of Compressor 2 and perform preventive maintenance.

Maintenance

• Reset the maintenance alarm for Compressor 2 at the display interface.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations.
