Programming Relays
Each relay has an Alarm Setup menu used to program its functions. Functions are 
programmed individually for each relay except in the case of Lead-Lag mode. Each relay 
has the same available functions. All relays may be manually overridden. Before the relays 
are set up, verify that the inputs have been configured. 
To access Alarm Setup menu: Select a relay from the Relays window in the main setup 
menu. 
Use Alarm Mode setting to assign relay action. When a mode is selected, relay menu 
options change accordingly. If the relay will not be used, [OFF] should be selected. 
 
 
Supervisory or Summary Alarm Modes
Select [Supervisory Alarm] from Alarm Mode options to turn relay on (energize) when a 
CPU failure is detected or if a process input is lost (no signal present.) 
Select [Summary Alarm] from Alarm Mode options to turn relay on when any other relay 
enters alarm state. 
 
 
 
High or Low Alarm Modes
High or Low functions are used to 
turn the relay on and off at selected 
process points. If it is necessary to 
have an external reset using a 
digital input channel or the ACK key 
select Annunciator High or Low 
Alarm Modes instead. 
Select [HIGH] from Alarm Mode 
options to turn relay on (energize) 
when high set point is reached and 
off when low reset point is reached. 
Select [LOW] from Alarm Mode 
options to turn relay on when low 
set point is reached and off when 
high reset point is reached.
