System Comm Lost	• Check that the System is receiving power.
	• Check the external CAN bus connections.
	• Check the System ID DIP switch settings of every Main Module in the
	Group. Each Main Module must have a unique address. See the Installation
	Manual for the correct DIP switch settings.

System Failure	• After correcting the cause of the system failure, perform a Reset System
	Failure command (Path: Main > Respond to Alarms > Reset Sys Failure).

System Fire Detected	• Follow the appropriate facility emergency protocol. NOTE: The purpose of
	the fire sensor is to warn you of possible equipment damage. It is NOT
	intended to provide a fire alarm system to protect the facility and the lives of
	its occupants.
	• See “Fire Detected” on page 55 for the appropriate alarm actions.

System Off	• Turn on power to the System (Path: Main > On/Off).

System Smoke Detected	• Check the Modules in the System for Smoke Detected alarms.
	• Follow the appropriate facility emergency protocol. NOTE: The purpose of
	the smoke sensor is to warn you of possible equipment damage. It is NOT
	intended to provide a smoke alarm system to protect the facility and the lives
	of its occupants.
	• See “Smoke Detected” on page 58 for the appropriate alarm actions.

VFD # 1 Requires Maintenance	• Verify the operation of VFD # 1 and perform preventive maintenance.
	• Reset the maintenance alarm for VFD #1 on the display interface.

VFD # 2 Requires Maintenance	• Verify the operation of VFD # 2 and perform preventive maintenance.
	• Reset the maintenance alarm for VFD #2 on the display interface.

VFD #1 Fail	• Check the event log for other VFD alarms to determine the cause of the
	failure.

VFD #2 Fail	• Check the event log for other VFD alarms to determine the cause of the
	failure.

Water Detected	• Determine the source of the leak, and repair it.
	• Confirm that the water detector is not short-circuited to metal and ensure that
	there is not debris or soldering on the rope component of the water detector
	that could be providing false detection.
	• Ensure that the water detector is properly mounted and secured to the bottom
	of the Module or the floor.
	• Confirm that the wiring connections are secure.
	• Replace the water detector.
