The following information provides general guidelines
to identifying potential problems and possible
solutions on the Carbon Shield system. For complete
parts list, electrical schematics and component
locations refer to the information contained in
this manual.

The Carbon Shield control system continously
monitors all parameters involved in oil mist
generation. As a result, it is very likely for the HMI
to display more than one fault for the same problem.

To display alarm messages, press the “Alarm
Screen” button on the main menu screen of the
HMI. Fault types, values, and the time they
occurred are logged in memory and can be
retrieved either locally or from a remote location
as described in this manual. If the first solution
doesn’t clear the alarm, then proceed to the next
possible solution. If the alarm still exists, the severity
of the problem may be beyond the possible
solutions listed in this manual. Please contact
Alemite customer service for assistance, or
Siemens for PLC and HMI product support.

If you cannot resolve your issue through our
Trouble Shooting Section, please contact Alemite
Customer Service department at 1-800-822-4579.
