4.10 Warnings and Failures
The GSC400 incorporates many types of warnings and failures. Most are only
active in the RUN mode while a few are also active in the AUTO and/or OFF
modes. Warnings and failures can be triggered from a Switched Input, Analog
Input, AC Voltage, AC Current, Speed Signal Input, as well as others. The
Advanced Setup section of this manual will give more information of the specific
warning and failures for each type of input.
When a warning occurs, the second line (the area under the time and date
display) of the LCD is used to display the warning text. Also, after the warning is
displayed, instructions are displayed showing the user how to silence the buzzer.
When in the AUTO or RUN mode, pressing the Auto key silences the alarm while
in the OFF mode pressing the Off key performs this function.
When a failure occurs (although most failures only occur in the RUN mode, the
Low Fuel Level and Low Coolant Level failures occur in any state including
OFF and AUTO) the controller exits the RUN mode, skips cool down, and enters
the FAILURE mode – turning off the Fuel output and other outputs on or off
depending on the advanced settings – and displays the failure message. The
alarm will sound and remain on until it is silenced by the user. The Auto key can
be pressed to silence the alarm. Once the alarm is silenced the controller can be
placed into the OFF mode by pressing the Auto key and then the Off key. This
returns the controller to the OFF mode.
The failure is recorded in the event log accessible from the Basic menu.
In the case of a Low Fuel Level failure cool down will be allowed to run before
entering the failure mode.
