6. Alarm
Additional to the limit function the device provides various check functions that raise alarm.
In case of an alarm, relay 3 switches, undelayed, and the cause of the alarm is indicated in the display.
If the cause of alarm is such that control is no longer possible or might even be dangerous, the controller is
automatically deactivated until the alarm is switched off.
Switching off the alarm is done automatically by the device as soon as the cause of alarm is eliminated.
Sensor check during measurement
During measurement all connected sensors are checked. If an analog input does not receive a correct signal,
for e. g. if a cable is broken or a sensor damaged, an alarm is issued, and the controller deactivated. Alarm
and controller stop remain until the analog input receives correct signals again.
