the LCD displays the fault; when the temperature returns to the acceptable range, the message is removed from the LCD. For other faults, you must take action to remove the message from the display:

Clear the SEL — You can perform this task remotely, but you will lose the event history for the system.

Power cycle — Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical outlet; wait approximately ten seconds, reconnect the power cable, and restart the system.

Any of these actions will remove fault messages, and return the status indicators and LCD colors to the normal state. Messages will reappear under the following conditions:

The sensor returns to a normal state but fails again, resulting in a new SEL entry.

The system is reset and new error events are detected.

A failure is recorded from another source that maps to the same display entry.
