Warnings:
The DM-6 can be operated to trigger the warning by setting the limit of the parameters
(Parameter 1(P1) and Parameter 2(P2)). Sensors that are daisy-chained with the DM-6 can
be selected to associate with the parameter setting. The DM-6 is capable of monitoring up to
2 parameters for warnings. To trigger the warning, the reading of the DM-6 must go above or
below the parameter setting as determined by the user. The table below shows the 4 schemes
that are supported by DM-6.
If the DM-6 measures the above values and the “SCHEME” is set to “P1 OR P2”, this means
that if Parameter 1 is TRUE OR Parameter 2 is TRUE, the warning will trigger.
Since EGT is set in Parameter 2 and the measured value exceeds the trigger point set for this
particular sensor, the warning will trigger as soon as the measured value exceeds 800.
The LEDs will be flashing, indicating that the warning has been triggered. DM-6 will also
display the particular sensor that triggers the warning in the numerical mode.
If mode P1 AND P2 is selected, as the warning triggers, you can press the left button to view
the two sensors that trigger the warning.
Mode Description
P1 and P2 Warning triggers only when the reading falls within the range set by
both Parameter 1
and Parameter 2
P1 or P2 Warning triggers only when the reading falls within the range set by
Parameter 1
or Parameter 2
P1 Only Warning triggers when the reading falls within the range set by
Parameter 1 only
P2 Only Warning triggers when the reading falls within the range set by
Parameter 2 only
To trigger the warning, first set the “SCHEME”:
1. In the “SETUP MENU”, choose “WARNING” by pressing the logo button.

tion for each “SCHEME”.
