Alarm Delay
You can set the CAS to delay normal alarm detection and alarm
reporting. There are two kinds of alarm delay:
• Startup alarm delay delays detection of process alarms (but not failed
sensor alarms) for all channels for a time period you set in the Setup
Global Parameters main menu.
• Channel alarm delay delays failed sensor alarms and process alarms
for one channel until the alarm condition is continuously present for
longer than the channel alarm delay time you set.
NOTE
Failed sensor alarms are detected at startup. They are affected by
the channel alarm delay, not the startup alarm delay time.
High Process Alarm Setpoint
This menu lets you select the setpoint (temperature or other value within
the scaled sensor range) at which the high process alarm activates. The
high process alarm activates when the process variable (PV) goes above
the high process setpoint. It deactivates when the PV goes below the
high process setpoint minus the deadband value, if you have set a
deadband value.
Selectable values: Any point within the scaled sensor range
High Process Alarm Type
This menu lets you turn off the high process alarm or set it to one of the
alarm functions. (See the previous description for an explanation of
these choices).
Selectable values: Off, Latched, Unlatched
