3.7.6 Event Types and Properties
Liebert iCOM events are used to inform the user of cooling unit operational status. All events are
recorded in the Event Log, which is in the User Menu. The user can change the type (alarm, warn,
message) and time delay of some events and can also enable or disable some events. These event set-
tings are in the Service Menu under Set Alarms, pages 3 to 7. If an event has a safety function (high
pressure, low pressure, main fan overload, etc.) the safety function will be executed in any case, inde-
pendent of the selected event type or if enabled or disabled. The timing will function as set.
Event Types
• Message: If this event occurs, it will only be entered into the event log.
• Warning: If this event occurs, a warning will be generated and entered into the event log. The
general alarm relay will be activated only if parameter Warning Activates Alarm Relay located in
the Service menu under Alarm Setup is set to Yes (Yes is the default setting from the factory)
• Alarm: If this event occurs, an alarm will be generated and entered into the event log. An alarm
does not necessarily switch off the whole cooling unit; it depends on which alarm occurs. If a
standby unit is set, any alarm will stop the faulty unit and ask the standby unit to start. Standby
activation is achieved on alarms ONLY; messages or warnings will not start the standby unit. For
more on standby units, see 4.0 - Teamwork.
Time Delay
Delays the event reaction once it is triggered. The time delay applies to safety functions and is
entered in seconds.
Enable or Disable
Disabled events do not show up in the event log, on the display or on monitoring devices. Also, the
common alarm relay will not be activated if a disabled alarm occurs. Safety functions, such as lockout
compressor in case of high pressure are still performed.
NOTE
Not all critical event properties can be adjusted.
NOTE
Once a disabled event (set to Warn or to Alarm) becomes active, it will lock itself. Disabled
events may be reset only through the menu item Reset Disabled Alarms.
NOTE
The value of the external delay includes the internal delay:
external delay = setting – internal delay.
The minimum setting of the external delay is the value of the internal delay. This is valid only
for values marked with *.
