4-6 Alarms

The controller is setup with multiple alarms, most of them configurable using the Supervisor
password. Section 4-5 Controller Setpoints gives a list of alarms that the controller is setup to
display. The alarms are broken up into two categories – warnings and faults. The warning
notifies the user that the parameter has been exceeded and the chiller is allowed to keep
operating, but should be monitored to determine the cause of the warning. The fault notifies
the user that the parameter has been exceeded and the chiller and pump has been shut down to
protect the system.

Communications

The communications function allows you to monitor and set the parameters by a program
prepared and running on a host computer connected to the controller.

When using the communications function, you must add on the unit for RS-485 Modbus
communications. The communications function allows you to read/write parameters, do
operating instructions, and select the setting level.
