3.6 Alarms and supervision
3.6.1 Definition of terms
Device alarms (see „3.3. Alarm conditions“ ) are defined as conditions like overvoltage or overtemperature, which
can occur in relation to protection feature with partly adjustable thresholds.
The alarms are always indicated in the front display and are as well available as readable status via digital interface
when controlling or just monitoring remotely.
3.6.2 Device alarm handling
A device alarm incident will lead to DC output switch-off in most cases. The alarm must always be acknowledged,
which can only happen if the cause of the alarm is not persistent anymore. Ways to acknowledge:
• in manual control by switching the DC output on again or just by pushing button On/Off.
• in digital remote control by sending a specific command to acknowledge alarms (ModBus), usually after the
actual alarm has been recorded.
Some device alarms are configurable by adjusting a threshold. This is described in
„3.4.4. Manually configure
protections“:

Triggers an alarm if the DC output voltage reaches the defined threshold.
This can be caused by the device being faulty or by an external source.
The DC output will be switched off.

AC supply over- or undervoltage. Triggers an alarm if the AC supply is out of specification
or when the device is cut from supply, for example when switching it off with the power
switch. The DC output will be switched off.

em-
perature
Triggers an alarm if the internal temperature reaches a certain limit. The device will also
stop supplying power for an uncertain time and until it has cooled down again, in order to
automatically continue supply afterwards.
SE Se nse
Remote sense error. Triggers an alarm in case the remote sense connection to the load
or the sense bridges on the rear is interrupted (bridges have to be placed when remote
sense is not used) or in case the remote has reached the maximum possible compensa-
tion. This can only happen with the DC output being switched on. If the alarm occurs, the
DC output is not switched off. This is just to inform the user that the voltage on the load
can not be regulated to the adjusted output voltage.
