LCD screen indications
The LCD screen on the user interface provides information relevant to the current functional condition of the
control unit. There are two screen modes: system normal and system off-normal (Figure 2 on page 6).
System normal screen: System normal means that the control unit is in the normal (standby) state. In this state,
the LCD screen is clear of any event messages. Only the time, date, system normal graphic, and Action buttons
are displayed.
System off-normal: System off-normal means the control unit has changed to the alarm, trouble, supervisory,
monitor, disabled, or test state. In this state, the screen displays event messages that provide details about what
is happening in the system. The LCD screen displays the eight most recent highest priority events at one time.
