ALx HYST
0.0 to 100.0% of span or full
output as appropriate
ALARM HYSTERESIS
— an adjustable hysteresis is
provided on each alarm such that when the alarm is
OFF it activates at exactly the alarm setpoint; when the
alarm is ON, it will not deactivate until the variable is
0.0% to 100.0% (whatever has been set) away from the
alarm setpoint.
Configure the hysteresis of the alarms based on
INPUT signals as a % of input range span.
Configure the hysteresis of the alarm based on
OUTPUT signals as a % of the full scale output
range.
Repeat this procedure for Alarm 2, Alarm 3, Alarm 4, Alarm 5, Alarm 6 configuration.
