I: The alarm/warning notification. 
Warning indicator: Exclamation mark in a yellow round icon. If no alarm is in ACTIVE condition on the controller and 
at least one warning is ACTIVE or OCCURRED, the warning indicator will be present.  
 
Alarm indicator: Exclamation mark in a red triangle icon. As soon as at least one alarm is ACTIVE or OCCURRED, 
the alarm indicator will be flashing. 
  
J: The motor configuration symbol shows how the motor is wired to the contactor(s). This symbol is used to show if 
the motor is in a starting configuration (Wye wiring, for example) or in a permanent running configuration (i.e. delta 
wiring) 
 

Permanent delta motor connection. 

 

Temporary wye motor connection. 

 

Temporary auto-transformer motor connection. 

 

Temporary primary resistor motor connection. 

 

Temporary solid state starter motor connection. 

 

Temporary part-winding motor connection. 

 
K: Representation of the motor starting or stopping cause. A green capsule will indicate the reason why the motor is 
running. Possible choices are: 
 
EMERGENCY: Manual motor starting activated by the emergency handle.  
 
MANUAL: Manual motor starting activated by the START push button.  
 
REMOTE MANUAL: Manual motor starting activated by a remote start contact.  
 
DELUGE: Automatic motor starting activated by a deluge valve. 
 
AUTO: Automatic motor starting activated by pressure drop  
 
REMOTE AUTO: Automatic motor starting activated by remote equipment 
 
FLOW: Automatic motor starting activated by a signal in the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input.  
 
HIGH ZONE: Automatic motor starting activated by a signal in the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input.  
 
WEEK TEST: Automatic motor starting activated by a scheduled test. 
 
MANUAL TEST: Automatic motor starting activated by the run test push button. 
 
 
A red capsule will indicate the reason why the motor is not running despite the fact that a request is being made. 
Possible choices are: 
 
LOAD SHED: The transfer switch has transferred to the alternate position and the motor starting is delayed to 
reduce the load on the alternate power source. This functionality is optional.
