ALARMS, ALERTS and NOTIFICATIONS
Alert/Alarm Configuration Screen
The Alert/Alarm Configuration Screen is used to:
• Change the MV17 valve(s) setpoint
(see just above)
• Set minimum and maximum values to offer a
range of acceptable settings.
• Both alarms and alerts can trigger relays and/or
email/text notifications as a result of variations
outside the user allowable limits.
Alert Example:
Assume we want an alert when the CW inlet
temperature is less than 40°F or above 110°F (the
latter being useful during periods of no actual
user demand) and email notification of the alert.
You would do the following:
• Go to the Alert/alarm Configuration screen.
• Click and hold the minimum CW slide bar, or “-” indicator until it’s set to a temperature of 40°F.
From the default of 35°F you would drag the indicator right and let go of the mouse button at 40°F.
• Set the maximum acceptable CW Temperature using its slide bar or “+” button and setting it to a
value of 110°F.
NOTE:
Setting the maximum value below the minimum will trigger an alert and the indictor will change
color from green (in range) to yellow (out of range). To enable an email alert, you check the email checkbox
but you must configure the email account as explained in the “Notification Settings” section below. You can
follow the same procedure for the HW inlet temperature or the inlet/outlet pressures.
Alarm Example:
To set an alarm for unacceptable variations in outlet temperature and trigger a relay output with email
notification, do the following:
Go to the “Alert/Alarm Configuration Screen” screen
.
Below the slider for the setpoint
and two sliders that allow you to
set a high and low deviation alarm.
The range is 1 to 15° F and if set
very low you will increase the
potential for nuisance alarms that
present no risk or discomfort to the bather, assuming that’s the goal for using these alarms. Either alarm will
activate a relay that can be used to activate a user-supplied horn, warning light, solenoid or other device
either directly (up to .5 amp) or through a user-supplied power controller. The status of the alarm and the
relay will be indicated by the adjacent button turning from gray (status when no alarm) to red.
