If you select ’Run 'til crash’, the pump(s) can be damaged and you may invalidate any warranties on the iGX
system equipment.
Normally, if an alarm condition exists, the iGX control system will shutdown the iGX system. If required you can
request 'run 'til crash' operation. In this mode of operation, most alarm conditions will be ignored and the pump(s)
will continue to operate. For safety reasons the following alarms will shut-down the iGX system even if you have
selected 'run til crash':
Note: 'Run 'til crash' is automatically reset to 'off ' when the electrical supply is removed.

4.5 Unplanned shutdown and alarms
The iGX system is fitted with a number of pump protection sensors (refer to Table 7) that will give warnings and
alarms. The decision on whether or not to shutdown the pump is left with the tool.
If the iGX system has an unplanned shutdown, ensure that the cause of the shutdown is identified and rectified before
restarting. If you are in any doubt, please call a Edwards Service Engineer.
4.6 Emergency stop
Note: The emergency stop switch is not an electrical isolator.
To shut down the iGX system in an emergency, press the emergency stop switch (Figure 4, item 1). Alternatively, you
can operate the emergency stop controls in your own control system if you have connected your emergency stop
circuit to the iGX system as described in Section 3.9.
