HBC-4301 Operators Manual - Novatech Controls

11. PROCESS LOG, ALARMS
The Process Log screen is available from the Main Menu, F7.
The screen provides a periodic report of a repair with a record of all the process messages
that have occurred during a task and all the alarm messages. The process log file is one of
the files that is saved with the repair and can be recalled and printed later.
Entering the Process Log screen will accept any new alarms and stop the audible alarm from
the HBC-4301. When the alarm messages have been assessed press the [ESC] key to exit the
screen. Clicking the Accept Active Alarms button will also silence the alarm if the screen is
open when an alarm occurs.
NOTE: The new messages are at the bottom of the screen and it may be necessary to scroll
through to the last messages.

The Cancel CRITICAL Temperature Alarm button will allow the job to be restarted after
the heaters have been turned off as a result of an extreme over temperature in any zone. This
may have occurred because the thermocouples are not listed in the correct zone or because of
a component failure in the HBC-4301. (See chapter 11.2.5 for more details)
The ―P‖ key can be used to print an alarm report of all the alarms, process messages and
status reports for the current job or it can be viewed / printed later from the Previous Jobs
Database screen using the View Log button.
