UFS8000 Alarms 54
8. Alarms
The controller features various monitorings of both the operation of the RO unit and the operation of
other functions in the controller (such as the SD card function ).
8.1. General overview
The alarms can be recorded via an SD card, via e-mail or via an RS232 or RS485 connection.
The way the recording operates and can be set is described in
§ 15.4.1 “Alarm log function” on page 76 and later on in the chapter for the corresponding medium:
SD Card
: § 15.4 “Log functions” on page 75.
E-mail : § 16.2 ”Log functions” on page 79.
RS485 : § 17.2 ”Log functions” on page 80.
RS232 : § 17.2 ”Log functions” on page 80.
An alarm output can also be used to provide a warning. A lamp or a buzzer may be activated, for
example. § 6.3 “Alarm” on page 22 features a description of the alarm output options and settings.
The “Information” option in the menu can be used to view the last 20 alarms. In this case the
date and time are recorded as well as a short description of the alarm, while it is shown whether the
alarm situation is active at that time or has been removed. See § 10.9 “Alarm history” on page 62
for more information.
If the UF unit's operation is interrupted by an alarm situation, this will be shown in the main window,
which will indicate the cause of the alarm situation, and the phase interrupted by the alarm situation.
See § 7.13 “Alarm” on page 53 for more information.
Attention!
In the event of a fault in the configuration file with programming an alarm is invariably given. This
cannot be set. In this case the controller has to be reset or a back-up may be uploaded via the boot
software, if need be.
8.2. Alarm window
An alarm is given in the alarm window, showing the date and time.
When an alarm output is programmed and activated, this output can be
switched off with key “Reset”.
The warning can be deleted from the overview, if the cause of the alarm situation has been removed,
by proceeding to the corresponding warning and pressing the key “Reset” again.
The warning remains in the overview when the corresponding monitoring is programmed so that the
alarm output automatically switches off when the alarm situation is removed.
