FCI WATERMAKERS, INC. 95 Operational Instructions
The V4 Control System Alarms are divided into four categories:
Notification
– This is used to alert the user of a situation
happening that does not affect the safety of the machine.
Warning – This is used to alert the user that an item needs to be addressed in the
near future. An example would be the High Pressure Pump Oil change is due soon.
Alarm – This is used to alert the user that an item needs to be addressed immediately
otherwise the system will shutdown. An example would be if the Product TDS is higher
than the setpoint. If left alone, the system will safety shut itself down to avoid damage.
Shutdown – This is used to protect both the user and machine. If a condition
arises that is considered unsafe, the unit will immediately shutdown. An
example would be the High Pressure Shutdown. If the system reaches
its high pressure limit the unit will immediately shutdown.
NOTIFICATIONS
The following is a list of notifications and their causes.
