Product Temperature Alarms
The display module generates an alarm if the
product simulator temperature rises above the
high alarm set point or drops below the low
alarm set point for the preset time duration.
When the display module generates a high
temperature alarm, the RED LED on the display
module is lighted. Every 12 seconds,
PrHi
is
displayed for 3 seconds; for the remaining time,
the product simulator temperature is displayed.
When the display module generates a low
temperature alarm, the RED LED on the display
module is lighted. Every 12 seconds,
PrLo
is
displayed for 3 seconds; for the remaining time,
the product simulator temperature is displayed.
For either alarm, the beeper on the alarm board
beeps every 6 seconds.
Power Failure
If external power to the unit is interrupted, the
backup battery on the alarm board supplies power
to maintain the non-volatile memory in the
display module.
To conserve power, the display LEDs are blanked
except for a period of 6 seconds every 3 minutes
when product temperature is displayed.
Product temperature alarms can be generated
during external power loss. The audible alarm is
active only for product temperature alarms.
Low Battery
During normal operating conditions, the alarm
module monitors battery condition. The display
shows
bAtt
when the battery becomes low on
power and the beeper on the alarm board beeps
every 2 minutes to indicate a low battery
condition.
The low battery audible alarm is
active only when external power is applied.
Connection Failure
Loss of communication between the display
module and the alarm module activates an alarm.
When the display module generates a loss of
communication alarm, the RED LED on the
display module is lighted. Every 12 seconds,
A-Er
is displayed for 3 seconds; for the
remaining time, the product simulator
temperature is displayed. The beeper on alarm
board beeps every 30 seconds. The
A-Er
audible
alarm is active only when external power is
applied.
Precedence of Alarms
Severity of the alarm determines the beeper
action. The following table shows the priority of
the alarms.
