Alarm states
A6V10733786_en_c
The application uses 2 different alarm classes:
● An A-Alarm indicated an important and urgent situation. If an A-Alarm is
triggered, the unit shuts down. An A-Alarm must be acknowledged and can
only be reset after cause of alarm is eliminated.
● A B-Alarm indicates a less urgent maintenance incident and during active B-
alarm, the unit runs either normally or is still in acceptable condition to run
(without major problems).
The installer can configure alarm for certain errors and can choose between A-
Alarm, B-Alarm or no alarm.
Alarms must be acknowledged and as soon as the cause for each alarm is
eliminated , normal operation is resumed. If one or more reasons still exist,
acknowledgement does not reset that specific alarm and operation might not
continue normally.
All alarms are shown with a time stamp and entry to non volatile storage for each
"change of state".
5 different alarm states are used in the application and they are valid for both A
and B-Alarms. These different states are meant to give additional information for
different users and different situations. Relay operation is depending on actual
configuration.
