APPLY TRIP
A signal can be applied to the input
terminals of the SPA, using the setup
shown in Figure 10. With this setup and
the following procedure, the unit can
“capture” the desired trip point.
7. Install the SPA being configured
into the setup shown in the figure,
apply appropriate power, and allow
approximately 5 minutes for stabilization/
warm-up.
8. Access the configuration menus, and
use the down arrow to access the “CONF
ALRM” menu.
9. Press SELECT.
10. Use the arrow buttons to access “APLY
TRIP”.
11. Press SELECT. The display will flash the
input level present at the terminals.
12. Adjust the input to the desired trip point
level.
13. Press SELECT when the flashing value
on the display reaches the desired trip
point value. This stores the value in SPA
memory and returns the unit to the Alarm
Configuration menu at the “ENTR DB”
(enter deadband) screen.

setting screen, or use the arrow buttons

the desired deadband value. This returns
the unit to the Alarm Configuration menu
at the “ENTR DLY” (enter response delay)
screen.

exceeding the trip point setting and the
actual state change of the alarm. Settings
from 0 to 60 seconds are available in 1

the desired delay setting. This returns
the unit to the Alarm Configuration menu
at “SET HILO” (choose high or low alarm
