UFS8000 Components 22
6.3. Alarm
An alarm output may be connected only to a relay output
function (OUTx).
Activation of the relay is completely independent of the phase
the unit is in.
In the case of the “Alarm output” all that has to be entered, in the inventory, is the relay output it is
connected to.
The situation in which the output is activated can be set in the alarm output-related programming.
If a component is not connected or a monito
ring is not activated (such as minimum flow monitoring)
the monitoring will not appear in this alarm overview list either.
If the monitoring is activated, a check mark will be shown in front of the corresponding monitoring in
the list.
If a monitoring is activated (“Alarm on”), you may choose to switch the alarm output off again
automatically (“Automatic reset”), if the alarm situation is removed.
In some cases there is no point in automatically switching off the alarm output nor is there any need to
do so. Examples of this are a power failure or maintenance, when the option for an automatic cut-out
is not displayed.
The alarm output may also be switched off manually. See § 8 “Alarms” on page 54 or via an external
switch where appropriate. See § 6.4.5 “Alarm reset” on page 25.
Attention!
Alarm messages “ROM settings” and “Default settings”.
An alarm is always given when there is a fault in the configuration file. This cannot be set.
In that case the controller has to be reset or a back-up has to be loaded via the boot software.
See § 19 “Hard disk” on page 83 and § 27 “Boot software” on page 104.
