The Drive Fail Alarm is not activated in Manual (P) Mode.

If a drive time-out occurs the INTRAC enters Standby Mode.
This prevents the drive motors being damaged by continually
re-starting.

When any Primary Alarm becomes active the red “System
Alarm” indicator on the INTRAC front panel illuminates and
the system enters Standby Mode. The actual alarm which
has occurred can then be viewed on the screen by pressing
Menu Key 5 (Show Alarms) in the Home menu.
