Alarm Codes

In this section:

  1. Alarm Types
  2. Clearing Alarm Codes

Introduction

An alarm code is generated when the microprocessor senses an abnormal condition. Alarms direct an operator or service technician to the source of a problem.

Multiple alarms can be present at one time. All generated alarms will be stored in memory until cleared by the operator. Document all alarm occurrences and report them to the service technician.

See “Alarms Menu” in the Operator’s Instructions Chapter for information about viewing and clearing alarms.

Important Always record any Alarm Codes that occur in the order that they occur – as well as any other pertinent information. This information is extremely valuable to service personnel.
    Note

  1. Some alarms (3, 4, 74, 203, and 204) cannot be cleared in the Alarms Menu, they must be cleared in the Maintenance Menu or the Guarded Access Menu. Contact your supervisor or a Thermo King dealer about clearing those alarms.

  2. In some cases alarms cannot be cleared, or cannot be cleared after they have occurred a specified number of times. If such is the case, these alarms must be cleared by a service technician.
