Alarm Outputs

The UM-600 will alarm when channel values or differential values are above or below limits
as specified. Alarms can be configured as either latching or non-latching. If an alarm
condition is met, the red LED on the front panel will blink and the digital output(s) will trip. The
alarm point name (ch1, ch2, df1, df2) that caused the alarm will be stored in memory with
date/time stamp info. Non-latching alarms will reset the alarm if its value returns to normal.
Latching alarms require manual resetting via the front keypad.

WARNING:

The alarm / shutdown output should be tested monthly for proper operation, especially
if being used for engine overspeed shutdown or other critical function.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING POWER INTERRUPTION:

If input power to the UM-600 Monitor is disconnected or lost during a data log operation,
there is the possibility of losing data (see page 2).

To prevent this, it is important to turn off the data logging prior to power disconnect. This is
accomplished through the “Data Logging” icon on the main menu. When this is selected, the
first screen will allow you to select “Stop Logging.” Pressing the

arrow will provide

instructions for a safe power down.

The data logging will be enabled automatically when power is re-applied.
