    Troubleshooting Alarms Low Temp Alarm This alarm indicates that there is a lower space temperature than is desired. The space temperature should be verified and compared to the controller reading. If the space temperature reading is incorrect ensure there is no offset applied and then the wiring to the temperature sensors installed should be verified.
