Acknowledge Password
For a variety of reasons, some sites may be programmed with a special Alarm
Acknowledge Password. This code must be entered correctly at the keypad before an
alarm can be acknowledged / silenced.
Acknowledging Alarms / Silencing Alarms
• Status row lights are
flashing... To view the cause
of the alarm....
Press the menu key under
the column(s) that has the
WARNING or ALARM
display, to show the:
Type of Alarm, the Alarm Status, the Date and Time when it happened, and
the Cause / Location / Name of the Alarm (Alarms are displayed in order).
The Alarm key can also be used to select and display:
System, Tank, Sensor, Line, or All alarms. Active, Cleared, or a History of
alarms can be displayed or printed when this method is used.
• Use the UP or DOWN key to display other warnings or alarms.
• Record / Log Alarms and Warnings per the procedures at your site. This is
especially important when the printer is out of paper (a NO PAPER message replaces
the WARNING display – under the system column – every 2 or 3 seconds).
• Press the ACK SHIFT key to acknowledge the existence of the alarm, which causes
the warning or alarm light to stop flashing (see Visual Alarms & Warnings page 2 - 1).
All transient or cleared alarms will disappear after acknowledged.
Site Policy — Reference Chapter 5 about Acknowledging Alarms.
Starting a Grace Period
Certain alarms (such as high water or low product levels in a tank) are frequently grouped
together and are used to prevent dispensing on alarm. When one of these alarms is active,
a control output relay in the optional TS-ROM BriteBox, or TS-IEM module (2001/508 only)
will activate and turn off the pump dispense circuit.
The TS-ROM / output relay can be programmed with an alarm-override value or grace
period that allows for a return to normal operation at least temporarily. The grace period
is started whenever an alarm is acknowledged (ACK SHIFT key is pressed), and continues
until the grace-period time has expired.
Site Policy — Reference Chapter 5 about Allowing Grace Periods.
