Fault/Alarm Conditions

LED Illustration

21. If an alarm condition occurs the AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller 
automatically calculates the distance along the cable to the trigger point 
and first displays this value in metres.

22. The display alternates showing the distance along the cable to the 
trigger point in metres and in feet.

23. The unit monitors for relay faults. If an alarm condition occurs but the 
relay does not switch state (due to a coil failure for example) the device 
will go into relay fault and show the screen to the right, depending upon 
which zone is in fault

24. The unit monitors for interference faults when the input may be 
changing between alarm, ok and fault conditions, for example, too rapidly. 
In this case an I/F fault is displayed on the corresponding zone. Check all 
cable teminations are securely fastened and for other sources of noise.

25. The unit monitors for cable faults (i.e. an open circuit). An open circuit 
will be displayed as fault (as per zone 1 shown right).

26. In interlock mode, the alarm outputs are only activated when both 
LHD cables are triggered. If one cable triggers but not the other the 
display will show the distance to the alarm on the triggered zone and the 
corresponding alarm LED will flash slowly.

27. In interlock mode, if both cables go into an alarm, the alarm outputs 
will be activated and the display will show the distance to the alarm for 
each zone. The zone 1 and zone 2 alarm LEDs will light continuously.
