In the event of alarms, the red LED ashes, the alarm relay closes, activating
the remote signal (if installed) and the alarm code ashes on the display.
There are two types of alarms: warnings and shutdown alarms. The
former can be deleted by pressing the “reset/sel” button for 2 s, while the
latter are displayed until maintenance is performed. Multiple alarms ash
in sequence, alternating with the main display.
The table below (Tab. 5.a) shows all the alarm codes, with a description of
the problems that cause these and the actions required to restore normal
operation.
