The meter is supplied with four alarm points that include front panel
LEDs to indicate alarm conditions. This standard feature is particularly
useful for alarm applications that require visual-only indication. The LEDs
are controlled by the set and reset points programmed by the user.
When the display reaches a set point for a high or low alarm, the
corresponding alarm LED will turn on. When the display returns to the
reset point the LED will go off. The front panel LEDs respond differently
for latching and non-latching relays.
For non-latching relays, the LED is always off during normal condition
and always on during alarm condition, regardless of the state of the relay
(e.g. Relay acknowledged after alarm condition).
For latching relays, the alarm LEDs reflects the status of the relays,
regardless of the alarm condition. The following tables illustrate how the
alarm LEDs function in relation to the relays and the acknowledge button
(Default: F3 key assigned to ACK):
Latching and Non-Latching Relay Operation
The relays can be set up for latching (manual reset) or non-latching
(automatic reset) operation.

Ack Acknowledged
The On and Off terminology does not refer to the status of the relay’s
coil, which depends on the fail-safe mode selected.
Warning!
In latching relay mode, latched relays will reset
(unlatch) when power is cycled.
