Interface
The Fridgewatch 2100 Controller panel, illustrated in Fig 2 and Fig 3,
comprises a 4 line 40 character LCD display plus a series of operator
input buttons. Some of the operator inputs are restricted by use of the
Supervisor Key.
Loss of power to Fridgewatch 2100 Controller, turning the door
interlocked isolator to ‘off’ or in the event of a power failure, will extinguish
the display. The programmed settings are not lost, however, as they are
backed up by battery. After mains power has been restored, Fridgewatch
2100 will return to the previous operating mode.
Legends for status indicators and operator input buttons do not appear on
the panel. However, when referred to in the text, the indicator or button
symbol appears along with the description in CAPS. For example,
TRIP indicator.

8.1.1. Event
Codes
When a trip occurs, the
TRIP indicator ‘flashes’ to show there is a trip
present. The alarm sounder, located on the front panel, provides an
audible warning until the trip has been accepted by pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE button. The Home page displays the ‘E’ number
corresponding to the cause of the trip, together with a short description of
the fault for example, ‘E6 HP cut-out tripped’.
