MPS 3 System – Alarm Overview
10. Alarm Overview
Alarms and errors are the notifications to the operator to ensure safe and proper function of the
MPS 3 System. The alarm message states the alarm or error code, a brief description of the alarm,
and prompts for clearing the alarm. All Alarms are recorded in the Alarm Report and may be
accessed from the Menu option. The Alarm Report is retained permanently during System power
down and during total loss of power events. The oldest alarms are discarded in the event of the
Alarm log memory becoming full.
The AUDIO PAUSE button is displayed in the High and Medium Priority Alarm screens. When
the AUDIO PAUSE button is selected, the audible alarm tone will be silenced for 30 seconds.
10.1. 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 tone. 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 until CONFIRM button is pressed.
The operator has the option to pause the audible alarm tone for 30 seconds.
The operator has to acknowledge the alarm by selecting an option in the Alarm message
window.
