Chapter 4.
• Trip Type: specifies whether the alarm relay triggers when the live measurement value moves
above or below the
trip value.
• Trip Value: specifies the live measurement value at which the alarm relay triggers.
• Deadband Value: specifies a small range of live measurement values, centered on the trip value, for which the
alarm relay does not trigger or reset. This prevents the alarm relay from repeatedly triggering and resetting when
the live measurement value is very close to the trip value.
• Test: permits the manual triggering and resetting of the alarm relay, to verify that it is working properly.
• Fail-Safe: specifies whether the alarm relay is energized during normal operation or during an error condition.
