User Defined Alarms
The TEC 3000 employs 18 different audible/visual alarms. These alarms are designed to alert
the user to possible problems with the freezer temperature, LN2 level, controller power, and
LN2 supply. In the event that a condition triggers an alarm, an audible buzzer will sound, that
particular alarm will appear on the TEC 3000 LCD display, and the global remote alarm
contacts will switch to alarm state. If the triggered alarm is one of the four specified discrete
contacts, then that contact will also switch to alarm state. For more information on the global
remote and discrete contacts, refer to the Remote Alarm Monitoring section.
To clear an alarm, first correct the condition and then press the “Alarm Mute” key or restart the
controller. If the alarm condition is still present, then pressing the “Alarm Mute” key will only
mute the audible buzzer for 30 minutes. The condition must be corrected in order to clear the
alarm.
NOTE: Most TEC 3000 alarms have a one minute delay to avoid false positive or
nuisance alarms. * denotes alarms that do not have a one minute time delay.
