Alarm on break
Fast Selection of Alarms
Example 1
Settings:
- BOTH LED and audio
alarms are active
- Alarm triggers on OUT
BAND
- Alarm is set to FAIL
- % 1st PEAK is 10% of
full-scale (e.g. AFG
100N must register
drop of 10N)
Main display is set to
1st peak tension screen
This feature is only activated when the % DROP feature
is used in conjunction with the ALARM function. The
AFG looks for a percentage (of full-scale) drop from
peak load value, set in the % 1st PEAK menu (see page
23). The alarm can be used to indicate if the break point
falls inside or outside the limits LIMIT 1 and LIMIT 2 set
in the alarm menu - See examples 1 to 5 below.
In order to quickly and easily switch between
pre-set alarms, it is possible to instantly access an
ALARM SELECT page by holding down the
RESET
key
for 3 seconds whilst in the main display.
The ALARM SELECT page is similar to the ALARM
sub-menu 1- the display will show ALARM SELECT; OFF,
and the 5 separate alarms.
The cursor will be positioned against the current alarm
in use, or against ALARM OFF if no alarm is selected.
To activate an alarm, move the cursor to the desired
alarm (or to OFF to deactivate alarms) and press
ENTER
.
Alternatively, to cancel the command, press
ESC.
The screen will return to the main display.
