Alarms And Faults - Weinmann MEDUVENT Standard Instructions For Use Manual

11 Alarms and faults

Alarms are shown in the alarm line of the display in the form of
text. The text is displayed with a particular background color as a
function of alarm priority:
Alarm color Priority
Red High priority
Yellow Medium priority
Turquoise Low priority
If more than one alarm is active, the device responds as follows:
• Multiple alarms of different priorities: The device displays the
alarm with the highest priority. Alarms with a lower priority do
not appear until the higher-priority alarm is no longer active.
• Multiple alarms of identical priority: The device displays the
alarms in rotation.
• Technical alarms predominate. They cannot be muted.
Technical alarms are generated if no ventilation by the device
is possible.
