Alarms
The CONFIG ALARMS features a system that can be configured in the field. Two field adjustable alarm relays with dry contacts
operate independently of one another which means the alarms can be set-up as:
¾ HI and LO
¾ LO and LO, LO,
¾ HI and HI,HI
¾ PERCENT (of full scale range which changes with auto-ranging)
¾ % (oxygen value)
Additional feature includes delaying the activation of the local audible alarm and relay contacts for up 99 minutes to enable
users to distinguish between transient occurrences and true upset conditions which is particularly useful on remote applications
without affecting the 4-20mA signal output. The local audible alarm can be silenced or disabled as well without affecting the 4-
20mA signal output.
Note: A separate feature, BYPASS ALARMS described below, enables the user to disable the local audible alarm and relay
contacts during calibration or servicing. The alarms are enabled when the alarm condition is corrected.
