9.3.4   Alarm enable:  

EnbL

This  function  allows  the  alarm  to  be  enabled  or
disabled  without  altering  any  of  the  alarm
parameters.  Using the

 push button select

AL1

 or  

AL2

 from the configuration menu and press

(

 to reach  

EnbL

 in the alarm sub-menu. Pressing

(

 will then reveal the existing setting.  The function

can  be  changed  by  pressing  the

  button  to  return  to  the

alarm sub-menu.

9.3.5  Type of alarm:  

tYPE

Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 are totally independent, both
may  be  rate  or  total  alarms,  or  one  may  be
conditioned for rate and the other for total.
Using the

 push button select 

tYPE

 from the

selected alarm sub-menu and press

Note:

 When  

tYPE

  is  changed,  the  alarm

configuration  is  automatically  reset  to  the
default values and the alarm is disabled.  It
must therefore be reconfigured before use.
