Carel Humifog Multizone Troubleshooting

When an alarm is activated, the alarm button starts flashing.
In these conditions, pressing the alarm button once displays the type of alarm.
In the case of potentially dangerous alarms, the controller automatically stops production. For some alarm events, the alarm relay is also activated at the same time as the signal (see the table below). Please not the Bell symbol will be ‘On’ in all of the existences below with exception to the clock fault alarm.

Message Displayed Cause Solution Reset Alarm Relay Status Action Note
Water treatment system alarm Check for water treatment unit faults If the alarm disappears check water system; if the alarm persists, replace the controller Automatic Active Stop Production -
Inlet line low pressure alarm Low water inlet pressure Check supply circuit and water supply pressure Automatic Not Active Stop production Check inlet pressure three times before generating the next alarm
Inlet line low pressure alarm Low water inlet pressure Check supply circuit and water supply pressure Automatic Active Stop production -
Conductivity warning Water inlet conductivity over the warning threshold Check water treatment system Manual Active Signal only First alarm threshold signal only
Conductivity alarm Water inlet conductivity over the alarm threshold Check water treatment system Manual Active Stop production Second alarm threshold, stop production
High bypass temperature alarm Excess water recirculation in bypass Check operating temperature (surrounding ambient air and water); check that the pressurised water distribution system is not blocked so as to cause water recirculation in the pump Automatic Active Signal only -
Inverter alarm Inverter fault Check the inverter and replace if necessary NB* Active Stop production *Automatic reset on inverter control depends on the type of alarm, see inverter manual
High bypass temperature alarm from thermostat Excess water recirculation in bypass Check operating temperature (surrounding ambient air and water); check that the pressurised water distribution system is not blocked so as to cause water recirculation in the pump Automatic Active Stop production  
Low pump cabinet temperature alarm Water inlet temperature less than 5˚C Heat supply water or the cabinet with a suitably rated heater Automatic Active Stop production  
High pressure alarm from thermostat Outlet pressure greater than 90 bars Contact Humidity Solutions for the instruction to check operation of the bypass valve Manual Active Stop production  
High pressure alarm from pressure probe Outlet pressure greater than 22% of rated pressure (85.5 bars) Contact Humidity Solutions for the instruction to check operation of the bypass valve Automatic Active Signal only  
Low pressure alarm from pressure probe Outlet pressure less than 25 bars* Check tightness of water circuit at outlet Manual Active Stop production *Threshold settable by parameter
Remote zone 2-3-4-5-6 alarm device offline Slave unit not connected to FieldBus network Check connection, network, cable, FieldBus card Automatic Active Stop production  
Pumping unit alarm device offline Master unit not connected to the FieldBus network Check connection, network, cable, FieldBus card Automatic Active Stop production  
Conductivity meter faulty or disconnected alarm Conductivity sensor fault or disconnected; problems from pCO (H) Check connection and operation of the conductivity sensor or the pCO board (H) Manual Active Stop production  
Pressure probe faulty or disconnected alarm Pressure probe faulty or disconnected Check connection and operation of the pressure probe Manual Active Stop production  
Main probe broken or disconnected alarm Main probe disconnected or broken Check connection and operation of the main probe Manual Active Stop production  
Secondary probe fault or disconnected alarm Secondary probe disconnected or broken Check connection and operation of the secondary probe Manual Active Stop production  
Auxiliary probe faulty or disconnected alarm Auxiliary probe disconnected or broken Check connection and operation of the auxiliary probe Manual Active Signal only  
Clock fault alarm Backup battery completely discharged or general clock fault Replace/repair electronic controller Note* Not Active Stop production *Switch the unit off to repair or replace the electronic controller
Temperature bypass probe faulty or disconnected alarm Bypass temperature probe disconnected or broken Check connection and operation of the probe Manual Active Stop production  
High humidity alarm Value measured by the main probe greater than the humidity alarm threshold Check the parameter setting Manual Not Active Signal only  
Low humidity alarm Value measured by the main probe less than the humidity alarm threshold Check the parameter setting Manual Not Active Signal only  
Limit probe high humidity alarm Value measured by the limit probe greater than the humidity alarm threshold Check the parameter setting Manual Not Active Signal only
