Alarm Outputs
For models equipped with alarms there are two alarm outputs. Each alarm can be programmed for one of nine
different alarm types. To set up the first alarm output, press the
;
button for three seconds. Press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
ALA1
appears. If the controller is configured for dual output control,
parameter
ALA1
is not available. Use the
.
button to choose the set value for the desired alarm type. Refer
to the chart below for alarm type information. Press the
;
button to save the selected value. If additional
alarm outputs are required press the
•
button to proceed to
ALA2
. Follow the same procedure to program
the additional alarm. When the desired alarm(s) are programmed, press the
;
button repeatedly until the
controller returns to the main screen.
The alarm output limits are controlled by the parameters
Al
n
h
and
Al
n
l
, where “n” corresponds to the
alarm output chosen. After selecting the desired alarm, press the
•
button repeatedly until the parameter
Al
n
h
and/or
Al
n
l
appears. Use the
.
and
,
buttons to enter the high and/or low values for each
alarm outputs selected. Press the
;
button to save each selected value. Press the
;
button again to
return to the controller main screen.
For advanced alarm options
Al1o
/
al2o
and alarm delay

al2d
please reference the parameter
descriptions in chapter 3 of the user manual.
ALA1
and
ALA2
are both SPST resistive load 3A @ 250 VAC, normally open relay outputs with a shared
common.
