10. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
10.1 ALARM CODE TABLE
The following is a list of possible alarms generated by the VIP5 with information for troubleshooting purposes.
ALARM CODE
DESCRIPTION
NOTES/CHECKS/SOLUTIONS
ALARM 01
LOW LEVEL
The Low level sensor has triggered.
Replenish the oil reservoir.
ALARM 02
CYCLE TIMEOUT The cycle switch has not been detected in the specified time. Make sure that you
have set the timer to a value that allows the cycle to complete.
ALARM 03
BOOST
WARNING
The P2 input has been activated and the Boost Function has increased the number of
Lubrication Cycles in the Lubrication Phase.
ALARM 04
THERMAL PROT. The Thermal relay trip signal has been detected.
Verify and repair.
ALARM 05
PS ALREDY ON
In PS Cycle mode, the pressure switch was already active before the pump was
switched on.
Check to ensure the venting system is operating correctly.
ALARM 06
PS AFTER WAIT
In PS Cycle mode, the Pressure switch cannot achieve pressure for the duration of
the DELAY time parameter.
Check parameters are correct and the pump is operating correctly and can maintain
pressure.
ALARM 07
NOT IN PRESS.
No Pressure switch detected within the timeout time.
Verify pump and pressure switch are operating correctly and there are no leaks.
ALARM 08
PAUSE TIMEOUT
In TOUT & Count Mode, no external signal has been received for the Timeout period
setting.
Verify external switch is operating.
ALARM 09
HI LEVEL
MAX level is present in tank.
ALARM 10
BAD SET 420MA Programming error on the 4-20 mA input, modify parameters to have a range MIN-
MAX >4mA
ALARM 11
BAD IN 420MA
Incorrect wiring on the 4-20 mA, signal underage or overage
ALARM 12
LO FLOW
In Flow mode, the current flow is below the minimum set level
ALARM 13
HI FLOW
In Flow mode, the current flow is above the maximum set level
ALARM 14
LO FLOWT
In Flow mode, the current flow is below the minimum set level because no flow input
signal has been received for the timeout time. This generally indicates a broken
sensor or that the system being monitored is switched off.
ALARM 15
UNCODED FAIL
An unknown Internal error has occurred.
Try resetting the unit. If the error re-occurs, the unit must be returned to Dropsa for
inspection.
ALARM 16
EXTERNAL
PRESSURE
Overpressure alarm and safety signal in air-oil systems.
10.2 RESTART/RESET
When an alarm occurs it is displayed on the LCD display with the alarm number and a brief description of the alarm.
For Example:
By pressing the button located under the “Setup” label, the user can go and modify the parameter values if it is some
incorrect parameter that is causing the alarm.
By pressing the button located under “Reset” (or the hard reset button) the VIP5 will restart its programming with the last
saved parameters.
