8 Alarm Management
Alarms in PolyCool470.10 are divided into two groups: auto reset alarms and manual
reset alarms.
• For an auto reset alarm, users are not required to acknowledge and reset it. The
corresponding device will be automatically restarted once the alarm status
disappears.
• Once a manual reset alarm is detected, the system will be stopped. Users need
acknowledge and reset it, and also manually restart the corresponding device after
the fault status is cleared.
When an alarm is detected, the corresponding device icon (if any) and the icon will
continuously flash. An alarm code will be displayed on the screen.
• If more than one alarm is detected, the alarm codes will be displayed successively on
the LCD screen until the alarm status disappears, or until they are manually
acknowledged or reset (only for manual reset alarms).
• If the system detects warnings and alarms at the same time, the warning codes will
NOT be displayed on the LCD.
• The latest 20 normal alarms and manual reset alarms generated in total are
separately kept under the auto reset alarm (AR) and manual reset alarm (MR)
categories in the menu.
