CHAPTER 5 - TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 FAULT MESSAGES & COMMON PROBLEMS
When a fault occurs in the boiler plant, the BMS II flashes fault messages at 2-second intervals and the
Fault Alarm (FLT ALARM) relay contacts are closed. The red FAULT indicator on the front panel will also
light. To cancel the alarm (open relay contacts), press the CLEAR key on the BMS II keypad. The FAULT
indicator will turn off, however the fault message will continue to be displayed.
The fault messages shown in Table 5-1 can appear when the BMS II is operating in any of the three basic
modes (Constant Setpoint, Outdoor Reset, or Remote Setpoint).
Table 5-2 lists some common problems that may occur during BMS II operation and provide Probable
Causes and Corrective Action for each listed Probable Cause.
