Faults and Warnings
When a fault or warning message appears, you can acknowledge the message to
clear the screen. To acknowledge a fault or warning message, press the Ente r
button on the System Control Panel. This action does not clear the fault or
warning condition, so you should consult Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 for suggested
actions after you have acknowledged the message. Refer to the System Control
Panel Owner’s Guide for more information on faults and warnings.

Fault Types

There are three types of fault messages: automatic faults, manual faults, and
escalating automatic faults. Table 4-1 describes how they differ in their behavior
and how you can respond to them when they appear on the System Control Panel.
Table 4-1
Faults Types and Behaviors
Fault type Behaviour
Automatic faults Clear automatically if the fault condition that
generated the message goes away. You can also
acknowledge automatic faults without waiting for
them to clear au tomatically.
Manual faults Require you to clear them by:
•selecting Clear Faults on the MS2000 or on the
device that gener ated the fault (if th e fault
condition still exists, the fault message
reappears)
•correcting the conditio n that caused the fault
Escalating automatic
faults Clear automatically if the faul t condi ti on go es a way,
just like an automatic fault.
However, if an escalating auto ma tic fault occurs
several times within a defined time period, the
escalating automatic fault becomes a manual fault,
requiring user intervention. For example, three
faults occur in one minute. It will no longer clear
itself but becomes a manual fault. Then you must
identify the problem, correct the fault co ndition, and
clear the fault or r ese t the device.
