Programming Relays
Each relay has an Alarm Setup menu
used to program its functions. Functions are
programmed individually for each relay except in the case of Lead-Lag mode. Each relay
has the same available functions. All relays may be manually overridden. Before the relays
are set up, verify that the inputs have been configured.
To access Alarm Setup menu: Select a relay from the
Relays
window in the main setup
menu.
Use
Alarm Mode
setting to assign relay action. When a mode is selected, relay menu
options change accordingly. If the relay will not be used, [OFF] should be selected.

enters alarm state.
