8.6.2 - Drive alarms
Drive alarms or alerts for VFD drive failure are displayed based
on the following formulas:
16000+X*1000+YYY for alarms
34000+X*1000+YYY for alerts
X stands for the drive number and YYY is the alarm/alert code.
Drive number Drive assignment
1 Drive for fan(s) of circuit A
2 Drive for fan(s) of circuit B
3 Drive for water pump #1
4 Drive for water pump #2
