• If the alarm/alarm condition cannot be resolved the user should refer to Table 13 or
Table 16 to determine the appropriate Operator Response for the specific
Alert/Alarm which has occurred.
A
MOTOR ALARM
condition is not silenceable, unless the condition has resolved.
•
If a
MOTOR ALARM
condition occurs and has not been resolved, pressing the
ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE keypad will not mute the audio alert indication and will
not remove the visual message alert indication.
•
If a
MOTOR ALARM
condition occurs and the alert/alarm condition has been
resolved, pressing the ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE keypad mutes the audio alert
indication and will remove the visual alert indication.
After an alert/alarm condition has been acknowledged by pressing the ALARM
ACKNOWLEDGE keypad, a visual indicator message will continue to be displayed under
the following conditions:
•
If the alert condition is unresolved and the alert/alarm condition persists.
•
If the alert/alarm condition reoccurs. (E.g. transient
FLOW BELOW MINIMUM
condition reoccurs). If the alert/alarm condition reoccurs then both the audio and
visual indicators will reactivate.
•
An additional alert or alarm condition occurs. The new alert/alarm visual indicator
will be displayed and an audio alert will sound.
After an alert/alarm condition has been acknowledged and the audio alarm muted, an
audio alert/alarm may reactivate under the following conditions, and may require
subsequent acknowledgment:
•
If the alert condition is unresolved and persists for more than 60 seconds after the
alert/alarm has been acknowledged, the audio alert will reactivate.
•
If the alert/alarm condition is resolved and then reoccurs. (E.g. transient
FLOW
BELOW MINIMUM
condition resolves and then reoccurs). The original text
message will continue to be displayed and the audio alert/alarm will sound when
the condition reoccurs.
•
An additional alert or alarm condition occurs. The new alert/alarm condition will be
displayed and the audio alert will sound.
There are four exceptions to the acknowledgement display and audible alert rules
described above. These are:
•
BATTERY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED
– this alert only requires one
acknowledgment. The visual alert continues to be displayed but the audible alert
will not reactivate.
•
ON BATTERY
– acknowledgement mutes the audio indicator, the visual indicator
continues, and audio reactivate every 15 minutes or until a
LOW BATTERY
alert
occurs or until reconnected to AC power.
•
LOW BATTERY
– acknowledgement mutes the audio indicator, the visual
indicator continues, and audio reactivates every 10 minutes or until a
BATTERY
BELOW MINIMUM
alarm occurs or the battery is recharged.
•
MOTOR ALARM
– this alarm cannot be muted as long the alarm condition
persists.
WARNING
Alarms, with the exception of the MOTOR ALARM, are associated with
conditions that result in stoppage of the Pump. Alerts are associated with
conditions in which the Pump will continue to operate, but additional attention
and/or corrective action may be necessary to resolve the alert condition.
