MPS 3 and MPS 3 ND Troubleshooting Manual – Alarm Overview
3. Alarm Overview
Alarms and errors are notifications to the operator to ensure safe and proper function of
the MPS 3 and MPS 3 ND Systems. The alarm message states the alarm (or error)
code, a brief description of the alarm, and contains prompts for clearing the alarm. All
alarms are recorded in the Alarm Report and may be accessed form the Menu option.
The Alarm Report is permanently retained during System power down and during total
loss of power events. The oldest alarms in the report are discarded in the event of the
Alarm Report memory becoming full.
3.1. High Priority Alarms
High priority alarms halt fluid delivery and require acknowledgement by the
operator. High priority alarms are announced in a red message window with a
flashing yellow border and a repeating audible signal. When a high priority alarm
is displayed, the display outside the message window is dimmed and the flow
knob and all buttons outside the high priority message window become inactive.
The operator has to acknowledge the alarm by selecting an option in the alarm
message window.
