Alarm List Menu
The Alarm List menu displays alarm codes. If the Alarm LED is ON or flashing ON and OFF, enter the ALARM LIST to view the alarm code(s).
Alarm Types
There are three types of alarms:
Shutdown Alarm (Level 1): Alarm LED flashes and unit stops. Shutdown alarms indicate the unit has been stopped to prevent damage to the unit or cargo. The condition must be corrected before restarting the unit. Alarm code 56 (Compressor Temperature Too High) is a shutdown alarm.
Check Alarm (Level 2): Alarm LED flashes until alarm is acknowledged. Check alarms indicate corrective action should be taken before a problem becomes severe. Alarm codes 00-17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 34, 35, 43, 52, 58, 112 are Check alarms.
Log Alarm (Level 3): Alarm is recorded in datalogger only (inspect event log). Alarm LED does not flash or turn on. Alarm codes 59, 97, 98 are Log alarms.
Alarm Code States
There are three alarm code states for Shutdown and Check alarms:
-
NOT ACTIVE: An alarm condition has occurred but no longer exists in the unit. Not Active means the condition was corrected and did not recur for 1 hour; or the unit On/Off switch was turned OFF and then ON.
-
When a NOT ACTIVE alarm code is acknowledged (F4 key pressed while alarm code appears in LCD display), the Alarm LED will turn OFF and the alarm code disappears from the alarm list.
-
ACTIVE: An alarm condition has occurred and continues to exist in the unit; or the alarm condition occurred within the past 1 hour but does not currently exist in the unit.
-
If the alarm condition currently exists in the unit and the alarm code is acknowledged, the Alarm LED will stop flashing but remain ON. The alarm code state will change to ACKNOWLEDGE in the alarm list.
-
If the alarm condition no longer exists in the unit and the alarm code is acknowledged, the Alarm LED will turn OFF and the alarm code disappears from the alarm list.
-
ACKNOWLEDGE: An alarm code has been viewed and acknowledged in the alarm list. The Alarm LED remains ON but does not flash.
-
f the alarm condition is corrected, the Alarm LED will turn OFF and the alarm code disappears from the alarm list.
Viewing the Alarm List menu:
With the unit On/Off switch ON and the LCD display showing the standard display (setpoint):
-
