9.2.3 Hysteresis
Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 hysteresis in E07: HYSTER-
ESIS1 and E08: HYSTERESIS2. Hysteresis is a value
added to the alarm setpoint in order for an alarm status to be
released (to normal) after the alarm status has been acti-
vated. The alarm status will be released in the following con-
ditions, depending on the direction of alarm action.
*
When HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is re-
leased when input signal < (alarm setpoint - hysteresis).
*
When LOW ALM (low-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is re-
leased when input signal > (alarm setpoint + hysteresis).

9.2.4 Alarm ON Delay and Alarm OFF Delay
Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 ON delays in E11: ON DELAY1
and E12: ON DELAY2 and then alarm-1 and alarm-2 OFF
delays in E13: OFF DELAY1 and E14: OFF DELAY2.
An alarm ON delay is the condition monitoring time from the
establishment of alarm conditions to its output; an alarm OFF
delay is the condition monitoring time from the establishment
of return-to-normal conditions to its output.

Description of
alarm actions
The alarm is output if the condition where
the input value is 80% or more of high-
limit alarm continues for 1 second or
more.
After the alarm is output, when the
condition where the input value is less
than 70% of high-limit alarm continues for
2 seconds or more, the status returns to
normal.
The alarm is output if the condition where
the input value is 15% or less of low-limit
alarm continues for 3 seconds or more.
After the alarm is output, when the
condition where the input value is more
than 20% of low-limit alarm continues for
4 seconds or more, the status returns to
normal.

Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds
●
Setting resolution: 1 second (However, about 0.2 second
is to be added to set time to prevent wrong operation.)
For example, when an alarm ON delay is set to 1 second,
alarm output is generated if alarm status continues for 1 sec-
ond or more after the input value exceeds the alarm
setpoint. Further, when an alarm OFF delay is set to 2 sec-
onds, alarm output is released if normal condition continues
for 2 seconds or more after the input value has returned to
normal from the alarm status.
9.2.5 Direction of Relay Action
Select the direction of relay energizing in alarm-1 normal
condition and alarm-2 normal condition from among NRM
DE-ENERGIZED (de-energized under normal condition) and
NRM ENERGIZED (energized under normal condition) in
E15: RL1 ACTION and E16: RL2 ACTION.
