engine speeds but set at a lower engine oil pressure, which would cover the
range from 500 to 1500 RPM, which might read as: Engine Oil Pressure < 50
kPa for 1 second AND Engine RPM > 500 RPM for 2 seconds.
The following shows an example of an Engine Oil Pressure alarm condition.
In the case of alarms, the condition can also contain an increment or
decrement amount, which may increase or decrease the test value by a
certain amount each time the alarm is acknowledged. The number of times
this value is incremented can be limited.
Checking Operation
Monitor Channels
The currently active channels can be monitored to allow checking of the
operation of all functions and measurements.
To monitor the active channels select Online | Monitor Channels from the
main menu.
Oscilloscope Screen
Any channel may also be shown on an oscilloscope style screen by
pressing the Utilities | Oscilloscope button on the Monitor Channels
screen.
Simulate
The Simulate feature allows most input channels to be manually changed so
that the ACL operation can be checked under abnormal conditions, e.g. high
engine temperature.
This is extremely useful for checking that the ACL is working as expected.
To activate the Simulate screen select Online | Simulate from the main menu.
