options for failsafe mode are either
FS for failsafe mode, or nFS for non-failsafe mode. Press the

keys until the upper display changes to the desired value. Press the
FUNC
key to lock in the
value and advance to the next parameter. Similarly, you may configure Alarm 2
(A2.FSM) and Alarm
3
(A3.FSM).
Carefully consider the Alarm wiring: For failsafe operation the alarm contacts must be wired
differently to have operation as expected. The ATC770 energizes the contact relay during failsafe
operation. This means the NO contact will be held CLOSED during normal operation. In the event
of an alarm or the loss of power to the ATC770, the relay will be de-energized and will then open.
The same holds true for a NC contact. It will be held OPEN during normal operation. In the event of
an alarm condition or the loss of power to the ATC770, the relay will be de-energized and will then
close. In non-failsafe operation the reverse is true, in that a NO acts as a NO and a NC acts as an
NC.

ALUE
The Alarm 1Threshold Values, is the value beyond which the Alarm will activate (i.e. the threshold).
Alarm 1 is set in the same engineering units that the Full Scale Value uses. To change or view this
value when in the operating screen, press the
FUNC
key, when in the main screen, and the lower
display will change to
AL1 with the threshold value in the upper display. Press the
▼
or

keys until
the upper display changes to the desired value. Press the
FUNC
key to lock in the value and
advance to the next parameter, or press
A/M
to return to the operating screen. Similarly, you may
configure Alarm 2
(AL2) and Alarm 3 (AL3).

The Alarm 1 Mask Reset may only be used on alarms configured as inhibited low alarms on startup.
It prevents the alarm from activating (masks the alarm) until the value of the primary input exceeds
the alarm value. To change or view this value when in the operating screen, press the
FUNC
key
until the lower display changes to
AL.MSK with OFF in the upper display. Press the

Alarm 2 or 3.
