8.6.- Alarms
The unit warns the user with a message on the screen of the activation of a relay or the
activation of an acoustic signal in certain circumstances, according to the programming of
the following parameters:
Alarm configuration
It defines how the values of the different temperature alarms are defined:
Relative to the SP:
They are defined indicating the temperature variation regarding the set point for the alarm to
activate. This option enables us to change the set point without having to reset the maximum
and minimum alarms.
Absolute:
They are defined indicating the absolute temperature value for the alarm to activate.
Maximum / minimum temperature alarm
It displays the message “HIGH TEMP ALARM” or “LOW TEMP. ALARM” when the temperature in probe 1 reaches the
value configured in the
Maximum alarm sensor 1
and
Minimum alarm sensor 1
parameters respectively.
The sound alarm and alarm relay is activated.
Alarm differential
It establishes the differential for the maximum and minimum alarm parameters (hysteresis).
Example
We configure the following parameters in a controller:
Set point
=2,
Maximum alarm probe 1
=10,
Alarm differential
=2
Ÿ
If it is configured as “Relative to the SP”, the maximum temperature alarm activates when 12 degrees
are reached in probe 1, and deactivates when 10 degrees are reached.
Ÿ
If it is configured as “Absolute”, the maximum temperature alarm activates when 10 degrees are
reached in probe 1, and deactivates when 8 degrees are reached.
Delays
They define the delay time in minutes from a certain event, until the activation of the temperature alarms.
Ÿ
Temperature alarm delay:
Delay from when the temperature is reached.
Ÿ
Start-up delay:
Delay from which the unit receives power supply (start up or after a fault in the power supply). This
allows starting up the installation avoiding constant alarm statuses.
Ÿ
Alarm delay after defrost:
Delay at the end of a defrost.
Ÿ
On-Off door alarm delay:
Delay from the deactivation of the digital input configured as door contact.
Ÿ
Off-On door alarm delay:
Delay from the activation of the digital input configured as door contact.
Alarm relay after key
This defines the status of the alarm relay after silencing it (pressing the
ESC
key).
External alarm / severe external alarm
It displays the
EXTERNAL ALARM
or
SEVERE EXT. ALARM
, on activating the digital input configured as external
alarm or severe external alarm. The severe external alarm also stops the unit's control functions (compressor, fans,
defrost and auxiliary relay).
One of the digital inputs must be configured as external alarm or as severe external alarm.
The sound alarm and alarm relay is activated.
