Alarms
If the dehumidifier control system detects abnormal or unsafe for further operation situation, it issues A
larm
(notification of such situation accompanied by respective component or entire dehumidifier stoppage and/or
lockout) or
Alert
(notification of minor abnormal situation without
any devices’ stoppage or lockout).
All alarms and alerts are recorded and can be viewed/cleared via the Touch Display OP:
Viewed: to facilitate troubleshooting and addressing abnormal situation
Cleared: to unlock stopped device or entire dehumidifier and allow for further operation
The table F.1 below lists the basic alarms with their descriptions and recommended initial troubleshooting.

Various compressor-related alarms, relevant to:
-
Compressor high/discharge pressure;
-
Compressor low/suction pressure;
-
Compressor superheat/suction temperature;
Check respective compressor-related data
(pressure and temperature readouts),
refrigerant level in the re
ceiver’s sight
glasses, cleanliness of air-side coils and air
filters.

water flow interruption (backwash, etc.),
check the pool water flow (pump, filters,
valves) and pool water temperatures.
HPRelief
Alert
, indicating that additional condensing
capacity is engaged (pool water heat exchanger
etc.) to prevent compressor high pressure from
rising too high.
No action required unless it’s
accompanied by other (compressor-
related) alarm or faulty situation.
Note that proper and regular maintenance (example: keeping air filters and air-side coils clean) should
reduce the chances of abnormal operations, dehumidifier alarm-related stoppages and downtime.
For more details regarding alarms and alerts, refer to the
Alarms Description
information (available via Help
feature in Touch Display OP); contact factory if needed.
CAUTION!
We recommend you have a qualified professional investigate and remedy all reoccurring
alarm-related stoppages and lock-outs. Continuous dehumidifier restarting (clearing alarms) without addressing
actual issues may result in equipment malfunction, premature wear, and failure.
