M2 Rig Monitor Operator’s Manual
NOTE:
You can select normally energized (N. EN) or normally de-energized (N. DE-
EN) alarm 1 and alarm 2 relay settings in Configuration Mode. The following
sections describe the standard factory setting for these relays which is
N. DE-EN.
The fail relay is factory set as N. EN and is not user-adjustable.
Alarm 1 Condition
Alarm 1 Condition Indications
When the gas reading reaches the alarm 1 setpoint, the Rig Monitor senses an alarm 1
condition. The Rig Monitor alerts you to an alarm 1 condition as follows:
•
The A1 LED turns on.
•
The gas reading alternates with the ALARM-1 message.
•
The alarm 1 relay energizes and the strobe/horn activates.
Responding to an Alarm 1 Condition
1.
Follow your established procedure for a low level H
2
S condition.
2.
After the gas reading falls below the alarm 1 setpoint, press the ENTER button to reset
the alarm 1 circuit. Resetting the alarm 1 circuit turns off the A1 LED, resets the LCD,
de-energizes the alarm 1 relay, and turns off the strobe/horn.
NOTE:
If the ENTER button is pressed while the M2 Rig Monitor is in an alarm 1
condition, the A1 LED will flash but all other indications will remain
unchanged.
You cannot de-energize the alarm 1 relay, and consequently the strobe/horn,
until the gas reading falls below the alarm 1 setpoint.
