display to understand the cause of these alarms. The most common alarm is the SASH ALARM, which indicates
that the sash is neither at the normal operating height nor at fully closed position (UV mode) this condition
can easily be corrected by putting the sash at the appropriate operation position.
Other alarms that indicate a failure or an error in the BSC system:
AIRFLOW: NO! will be displayed if there is an airflow failure.
SASH: ERROR POSITION indicates a failure in the sash detection system.
SENSOR UNCALIBRATED will be displayed if the airflow velocity sensor is not yet calibrated.
