2.6 OPTIONAL ALARMS
2.6.1 Programming and adjustment
The BA368C can be supplied with two solid state
single pole alarm outputs which may be
independently programmed as high or low, total or
rate alarms with normally open or normally closed
outputs. See section 1.9.3 for details.
For simplicity Fig 2.4 only shows the
programmable functions for one alarm output.
The second output is identical.
The following table summarises each of the alarm
programme functions and includes a cross
reference to more detailed information. Again
only the functions on alarm AL1 are listed.
