4-6 Alarms

The controller is setup with multiple alarms, most of them configurable using the Supervisor password. Section 4-5 Controller Setpoints gives a list of alarms that the controller is setup to display. The alarms are broken up into two categories – warnings and faults. The warning notifies the user that the parameter has been exceeded and the chiller is allowed to keep operating, but should be monitored to determine the cause of the warning. The fault notifies the user that the parameter has been exceeded and the chiller and pump has been shut down to protect the system.

4-7 Optional Communications

The communications function allows you to monitor and set the parameters by a program prepared and running on a host computer connected to the controller.

When using the communications function, you must add on the unit for RS-485 Modbus communications. The communications function allows you to read/write parameters, do operating instructions, and select the setting level.
