Using the CLS

Alarms

If an alarm occurs, a two-character alarm code appears in the lower left
corner of the display (below). If a Failed Sensor alarm occurs, the
controller also displays a short alarm message.

These alarm codes and messages are shown in the table below.

Acknowledging an Alarm

Press Alarm Ack to acknowledge the alarm. If there are other loops with
alarm conditions, the Alarm display switches to the next loop in alarm.
Acknowledge all alarms to clear the global alarm digital output. (You
must acknowledge each alarm before displays and keyboard operation
will resume.)

NOTE

In the 4 and 8 CLS, the controller cannot detect all RTD open
and RTD short failures. Detection of open or shorted RTDs
depends on which wires are open or shorted.
