Alarms

When a T5 FMS console is in alarm, the Alarm LED on the front of the console will flash. If SCM has been programmed 

to shut down the pump on alarm (in the SCM Setup), the pump will be unavailable for all system tests and dispensing 

until the containment with the active alarm is manually Reset. If the condition still exists after reset, the alarm will return. A 

service visit may be required to identify and correct the condition.

Warning

Always REMOVE POWER from the console prior to installing/removing a module or performing any

maintenance while the console door is open.

Note: Refer to the Important Safety Messages outlined in the beginning of this manual before performing any console 

maintenance.

Note: If at any time while troubleshooting a Warning or Alarm this guide is not able to help you correct the issue, please 

contact FFS Technical Services.

SCM Alarms and Warnings

To troubleshoot your alarm or warning, identify the Alarm/Warning display on the console in the table below and review the 

solution presented in the Error Code Table that follows.

Solution

A

Containment Tightness

Refer to the Containment Tightness Testing section of this guide and perform the tests in 

that section to ensure that there are no leaks and that the tank is tight.

B

Thermal Contraction

Caused by temperature variations of the air (or liquid if present) in the containment.

C

Liquid in Containment

This will decrease the containment size. If liquid is drawn through the containment, through 

the STP siphon, various parameters and containment vacuum readings will be incorrect. 

Containments should remain free of liquid at all times.

D

Siphon Function Check The siphon must be able to pull a vacuum of 8" Hg or more if connected to other equipment. 

The vacuum also must have a minimum flow rate of 146 L/Hr. Perform a STP Siphon Flow 

Rate Test as illustrated in the Pre-Operational Containment Testing chapter.

E

SCCM Vacuum Sensor 

Function Check

The transducer is sending incorrect data or no data to the console. Verify wiring from the 

transducer to the console. If wiring is correct, setup and program the transducer on a 

different, unused channel for testing.

F

STP Function Check

Use the dispenser to signal the STP when the dispenser is authorized then the STP should 

run. Also, SCM must be able to signal the STP pump on. Force a test on the containment 

using the SCM Control screen. The STP will start only if necessary to evacuate the 

containment. If the STP does not run to evacuate the containment, verify programming.

G

Verify Programming

Refer to the SCM Setup chapter of this guide for all SCM related programming information.

H

SCCM Vacuum Relief 

Valve Function Check

The mechanical vacuum relief valve is designed to open when containment vacuum levels 

reach or exceed 10" Hg. If at any time the containment vacuum level exceeds 10" Hg while 

the pump is on, this error will occur as an indication of a relief valve failure.
