1.3 Alarms
• Delay Hgh Lmt Alarm (T)
An alarm occurs when the measured value remains above the alarm value for a
specified time period (alarm delay period).
• Delay Low Lmt Alarm (t)
An alarm occurs when the measured value remains below the alarm value for a
specified time period (alarm delay period).

Alarm value
• Alarm does not occur at T1, because the time period is shorter than the specified
alarm delay period (T).
• The measured value exceeds the alarm value at time X2, and the alarm occurs at
time X3 at which the specified alarm delay period elapses (the time when the alarm
occurs is the time at X3).
• The measured value falls below the alarm value at time X4, and the alarm is
released.
Note
• The alarm detection operation is reset when a power failure occurs. The operation restarts
after the power recovers.
• If the alarm value is changed while a delay alarm is occurring, the alarm is released if the
new alarm value does not meet the alarm condition.
Alarm Hysteress
Hysteresis can be specified to the values for activating and releasing the alarm. The
hysteresis applies only to high limit alarm (H) and low limit alarm (L). The hysteresis
width can be set in the range of 0.0% (Off) to 1.0% of the recording span in 0.1 steps.
The setting applies to all high limit alarms and low limit alarms. By default, the hysteresis
width is set to 0.5%.
