The Temp A sensor is reading above the user defined high temperature alarm setting.
The Temp B sensor is reading above the user defined high temperature alarm setting.
The Temp A sensor is reading below the user defined low temperature alarm setting.
The Temp B sensor is reading below the user defined low temperature alarm setting.
The Variō Pro has lost communication with the Temp A sensor. The sensor has either been
disconnected from the controller or has been damaged.
The Variō Pro has lost communication with the Temp B sensor. The sensor has either been
disconnected from the controller or has been damaged
The Variō Pro has lost communication with the inlet sensor. The sensor has either been
disconnected from the controller or has been damaged.
The Variō Pro has lost communication with the cooling sensor. The sensor has either been
disconnected from the controller or has been damaged.
The Supply Time alarm is triggered when the temperature of the incoming nitrogen fails to
reach the Inlet Temp Setpoint within the time specified by the Supply Alarm Delay. Once
activated, the Variō Pro will terminate the Hot Gas Bypass cycle and begin supplying the
freezer with N
.

The Valve Stuck Open alarm is triggered when the Cooling Cycle has terminated and the
Inlet Temp Sensor fails to warm above the Inlet Temp Setpoint within the time specified by
the Stuck Open Delay time setting.
The Valve Stuck Closed alarm is triggered when the Variō Pro has begun feeding N
freezer, and the Inlet Temp Sensor fails to cool to the Inlet Temp Setpoint in the time
specified by the Stuck Closed Delay time setting. Note that although this alarm is similar to
the Supply Time Alarm, it will remain active regardless of the ENABLED/DISABLED status of
the Inlet Temp Sensor.
