Alarms Active 

When a critical system fault occurs, the controller 

logs the faults to the HMI alarm handler. To silence 

this alarm, press the ALARM SILENCE button. If 

multiple alarms are active at once, use the DOWN 

and UP buttons to view all alarms. All alarms must be 

resolved and then reset using the RESET ALARM 

button. 

 

Figure 13 –Alarms Active Handler 

 

Note: The above shows there are no alarms; if an alarm condition 
were present, it would appear in this window. 

 

Alarms History 

 

Figure 14 – Alarm History 

 

Note: The above shows there are no alarms in history; if an alarm 
condition previously existed, it would appear in this window. 

 

Warning Glycol 

If the Chiller Setpoint goes below 45°F, the Glycol 

Warning Screen will appear as in Figure 15. The 

amount of antifreeze will vary depending on the 

actual desired operating conditions and should be 

enough to provide freeze protection to temperatures 

15°F colder than the coldest temperature 

anticipated. Use only antifreeze solutions designed 

for heat exchanger duty. Do not use automotive 

antifreeze due to the potential for fouling that can 

occur once its relatively short-lived inhibitors break 

down. Verify the proper Glycol solution is used and 

acknowledge “OK” the Warning.
