WARNINGS
Second Priority (Non-latching) Displayed on the control panel
and the external yellow LED (V-twins only). Warnings automati-
cally clear when the monitored condition goes away. Warnings are
recorded in the alarm log. Warnings cannot cause shutdowns.
Low Battery
The Control Board monitors battery voltage and displays a warn-
ing if the battery voltage falls below 11.9 volts for one (1) minute.
Warning is automatically cleared if the battery voltage rises above
12.4 volts. Battery voltage is not monitored during the crank
cycle.
Exercise Set Error
If the exercise period becomes corrupted, a warning message
will be displayed. This message will only clear when the exercise
period is reset.
3.6.4
MAINTENANCE ALERTS
Third priority
Maintenance Message
When a maintenance period expires, a warning message will
be displayed. The alert can be reset by pressing the Enter key,
which will cause the user to be prompted to confirm the action.
Resetting will clear the alert and reset the maintenance counters
for all conditions annunciated. The history log will record the alert.
The maintenance counter will not accumulate without battery
power. Once battery power is restored, the set time prompt will be
displayed. The maintenance counters will be adjusted to the new
time and date.
Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same time
(most have two (2) year intervals), only one will appear on the
display at any one time. Once the first alert is cleared, the next
active alert will be displayed.
