Alarms

 

 

 

 

 

The format for all station alarms is “Station n [alarm text],” for

 

 

 

example, “Station 12 receiver low level.” The format for all

 

 

 

pump alarms is “Pump n [alarm text].” Any alarm that does

 

 

 

not start with “Station” or “Pump” is a system alarm.

 

 

 

The following tables list all alarms alphabetically, together

 

 

 

with possible causes. A “critical” alarm is one that causes the

 

 

 

affected device to stop.

 

 

Note: You can also see a list of alarms and their causes in the

 

 

 

controller’s online help. To display this information, touch the

 

 

 

color key of statuses in the upper right-hand corner of either

 

 

 

the “Station Status” or the “Pump Status” screen, or touch

 

 

 

Help at any other screen. When you are finished reviewing

 

 

 

the help, touch Return.
