Alarms and Alarm Procedures
In the event of alarm situations there is no need to worry. Simply follow the Alarm Procedures listed below.

Most OMNI RSF systems are equipped with a fail-safe design and will default to a standard Title V mode. This means the system will not back-up or overflow when the pumps are disabled. However, if the system is not running, it is not providing the sewage treatment and nutrient removal functions as it is designed to do.

All OMNI RSF systems have a minimum design reserve capacity to accommodate 24 hours of system use. In many cases, reducing use during alarm conditions can substantially increase this reserve capacity.

Alarm Indicators
A red light is located on the front of the Control Panel and indicates the systems status. For the control panels that are used to operate the OMNI RSF the light schedule is as follows:
  • No light - System Operating Correctly (No Action)
  • Flashing Red Light - Low Water Level Alarm (No Action)
  • Solid Red Light - High Water Level Alarm Condition

No action is required for Low Water Level Alarms. The following are recommend procedures for High Water Level Alarm Conditions and should be explicitly followed in the event of an alarm condition:


For systems with the Fail-safe design:
  1. Simply disable the buzzer by pressing in the red light on the front of the Control Panel;
  2. Let system set for 1-4 hours and the light should turn off automatically;
  3. If the system continues to alarm, disable the buzzer again and contact OMNI for a maintenance call.

For Systems without the Fail-safe design:

  1. Simply disable the buzzer by pressing in the red light on the front of the Control Panel;
  2. Let system set for 1-4 hours and the light should turn off automatically;
  3. If the system continues to alarm, disable the buzzer again and Contact OMNI to schedule a maintenance visit. System will continue to function without interruption for 24-48 hours.

Incase of alarm condition for systems without a complete fail-safe design, reducing system use can significantly increase the reserve time. This can be accomplished by practicing common water conservation methods including, shortening shower times, eliminating dishwasher use and reducing the flushing of toilets.

IMPORTANT: You must not attempt to remedy alarm warnings by making adjustments to the timer or switching the system to a manual operating mode. Only a qualified system maintainer should ever adjust the timer settings. Altering the controls can void the warranty. Incorrect adjustments can lead to system failure. Such problems can be very expensive to correct.
