Ambient Warning
The Ambient Warning indicates that the controller is within 5°C of its operating temperature limits. If
an Ambient Warning occurs, the alarm code AW (flashing) is displayed, and the global alarm output
is turned on. Acknowledging the alarm turns off the global alarm output. The error clears when the
condition no longer exists and the alarm has been acknowledged.
If the controller displays the AW alarm code:
1. Acknowledge the alarm.
2. Adjust the ambient temperature to a more appropriate level.
Failed Sensor Alarms
When a failed sensor alarm occurs, the controller switches to the single loop display for the loop with
the alarm and displays an alarm code (see Alarm Displays on page 63).
A failed sensor alarm clears once it has been acknowledged and the sensor is repaired. For more
information about the causes of failed sensor alarms, see Failed Sensor Alarms on page 73.
System Alarms
If the controller detects a hardware problem, it displays an alarm message, and with the exception
of the Low Power alarm, turns on the global alarm output. The global alarm remains on until the
alarm is acknowledged. The message persists until the condition is corrected and the alarm is
acknowledged.

•
