Alarm Type  

Alarm Type

 allows the user to view the way in which the alarm is calculated: 

 

Disabled

: this alarm level is deactivated 

 

Instant

: this alarm level is based on the measurement at time t 

 

Average

: this alarm level is calculated based on an average over time (configurable). 

It is triggered when the calculated value exceeds the configured threshold. 

 

Above for xx minutes

: this alarm level is only triggered if the threshold is exceeded 

for at least xx minutes. 

d)

 

Alarm Thresholds 

Alarm Threshold

 allows the user to view the value of the gas-concentration threshold for the 

selected alarm level. 

e)

 

Latching Mode 

 

Latching Mode

 allows the user to view the latching mode for the selected alarm level: 

 

Latching

: when the cause of the alarm is gone, the alarm remains active until 

manual action is taken on the U•V6 unit (

RESET button pressed twice

).  

 

Non-latching

: when the cause of the alarm is gone, the alarm is automatically reset 

and disappears.

failsafe mode and addressing for it.

The U•V6 unit might display an alarm message when the gas concentration has already 
fallen below the alarm threshold, when the unit alarms are latched. An alarm based on 
an average over time may remain active when the measurement time 

is below the 

threshold. It is normal for it not to be possible to reset the alarm in such a scenario. It 
will  only  be  possible  to  reset  the  alarm  when  the  average  value  falls  below  the 
configured threshold.
