Alarm mode – DeFelsko PosiTector DPM v.3.1 Full Manual User Manual

Page 13

Advanced models

allow the user to set up

custom alarm conditions for each reading in a
dataset. Use the Up and Down buttons to
scroll through each value and corresponding
operator.

For each reading, select between XX (off), ≥
(greater than or equal to), and ≤ (less than or
equal to) using the (-) and (+) buttons. Press
the down button and set the value using the
(-) and (+) buttons.

For example, at upper right, the Gage will
alarm if the Ts-Td value is less than or equal to
3.0.

In alarm mode, if an alarm condition is met, the
relevant reading is displayed in red, and the
Alarm icon is displayed beside it (see image
at right). If the “Sound” checkbox was selected
in the Alarm Mode setup screen, an audio tone
will also be emitted.

Standard models

have one, fixed alarm.

When selected, the Gage will alert the user
when the surface temperature is less than
3°C (5°F) above the dew point temperature.
Enable by selecting the tick box. The Gage
will alert the user with an audio tone and the
LCD screen will reverse (see right) when
conditions may be unsuitable for painting.

The PosiTector DPM can automatically alert the user when cur-
rent climatic conditions exceed pre-set values. When selected, the
Alarm icon is displayed at the top of the screen. According to
ISO 8502-4 and ASTM D3276, steel surfaces should generally be
3°C (5°F) above the dew point when painting. The Alarm mode
can be used in conjunction with Memory and Auto Log modes.
