STATUS FUNCTION - This function shows the rotating display, current status of alarm (diagnostic) codes, capacity stages, operating modes, chilled water set point, all meas- ured system temperatures and pressures, superheat values, pressure switch positions, analog inputs, and switch inputs .

These subfunctions are defined on pages 37 and 38.

(AlarmFis) - Alarms are messages that one or more faults have been detected. Each fault is assigned a code num- ber which is reported with the alarm. See Table 10 for code definitions. The codes indicate failures that cause the unit to shut down, terminate an option (such as reset) or result in the use of a default value as set point.

Up to 5 alarm codes can be stored at once. To view them

in sequence, press mm to enter the alarm displays and then press q to move to the individual alarm dis-

plays. Press q after a code has been displayed. The mean- ing of the code scrolls across the screen. See Example 1

When a diagnostic (alarm) code is stored in the display and the machine automatically resets, the code is deleted. Codes for safeties which do not automatically reset are not deleted until the problem is corrected and the machine is switched to STOP, then back to LOCAL/ENABLE or CCN.

mbi (Modes) - The operating mode codes are dis- played to indicate the operating status of the unit at a given time. See Table 10.

Table 10 - Operationat and Mode Display Codes

The operating modes are displayed by name or code num- ber, to indicate the operating status of the unit at a given time. The modes are:
