      Prominent Edge Alarms

      Information about Prominent Edge alarms and how to clear them.

      Alarms in a Prominent controller can be latching or non-latching alarms.

      • Non-latching alarms: reset themselves once the parameter recovers back into acceptable range. Using this is rare.
      • Latching alarms: do not reset themselves until the operator acknowledges the alarm.

      Latching alarms are especially helpful for bodies of water where the tech checks on the pool a few times a day or less. This is a safety backup.

      Types of ALARMS:

      • Dosing Alarm- Each chemical pump/feeder is set to run for a set programmed amount of time. Once that set time is exhausted the chemical pump/feeder will stop and the controller will go into alarm. The chemical pump/feeder will not start again until the alarm is acknowledged and cleared.
      • High/Low Alarm- Each sensor (pH , ORP, PPM, etc..) has a set programmed high and low value assigned to it. Once the sensor valve reaches that set high or low number the controller will go into alarm. 
      • Flow- When the controller loses flow, it will go into a no flow alarm.
      Adjust Dosing Alarms:
      Adjusting the dosing alarms can help you manage the time each chemical pump/feeder is set to run before triggering an alarm. You might want to adjust these settings based on your specific needs or to optimize the chemical dosing process.
      1. Click on MENU button from front of controller.
      2. Use the DOWN arrow button to Adjust Alarms in menu. Press OK
      3. Choose which pump you would like to adjust alarms for. Press OK.
      4. Select Mins/Actuation
      5. Enter desired minutes for dosing and press F1 SAVE.

      Adjust High/Low Alarms:

      Adjusting the High/Low alarms allows you to customize the range of acceptable readings for each sensor. Doing this can help prevent false alarms or ensure that you are alerted to any significant changes in your pool's water quality.

      1. Click on MENU button from front of controller.
      2. Use the DOWN arrow button to Adjust Alarms in menu. Press OK
      3. Choose which sensor you would like to adjust. Press OK.
      4. Adjust High and low alarm settings to desired values. Press OK *pressing F2 MORE will allow you to change the alarm type Latching/non-latching. (You want this to be Latching alarm)

      How to CLEAR ALARMS: (This applies to every alarm)

      1. If an alarm is active a RED LED will be flashing. Press ALARMS (F2) and all active alarms will show on screen.
      2. Press and hold INFO (F2) and it will show detailed information on each alarm selected.
