15. Alarms
15.1. General
The operation and management of the alarms are defined by several parameters:
■
The class: A, B, or C
■
The type of action
■
The time limit and the unit of time
■
The threshold (for certain parameters)
An alarm can have different states (statuses):
■
Active
■
Cancelled
■
Acknowledged
When an alarm is active (in the active state) it is visible in the “active alarms” menu and is immediately recorded in the
alarm memory (“alarm history” menu).
All this information is detailed below.
15.2. Alarm class
The alarm class defines how the alarm (or fault) is or should be acknowledged.
15.3. Alarm action
The alarm action defines the behaviour of the machine when the corresponding alarm occurs. There are several actions:
Class
Description
A
The cause has disappeared and the alarm must be manually acknowledged.
It is not possible to acknowledge the alarm until the cause is removed. The manual acknowledgement ultimately
gives the ventilation unit permission to restart.
Class A and B are identical. It is useful to be able to distinguish between actions for the same type of resetting.
B
C
The alarm is automatically acknowledged when the cause is removed. The alarm class (C) is mainly used as a
warning, although depending on the configured action, it is possible to stop the machine. It is not possible to
manually acknowledge this type of alarm.
Action
Description
Deacti-
vated
When the alarm appears, the machine continues to operate as if nothing happened. This action is used for
operating faults that are not critical to the safety or integrity of the machine (e.g. pressure difference, filter
clogging). This type of action is similar to a warning.
Rapid stop
The post-ventilation sequence is not considered; all outputs are deactivated instantly when the alarm occurs.
Normal
stop
The post-ventilation sequence is taken into account. This sequence is defined by the shutdown time limits of
the fans and the fresh air and exhaust air registers.
Reduced
speed
(Reduced
operation)
The alarm overrides the selected speed setting.
