OPERATION OF ALARM RELAYS
The relays work in conjunction with the lights on the CMU display panel:
ALARM SEQUENCE
The minimum alarms used are the Main alarm and Fault alarm. The functional shutdown
(or slowdown) can be used to shutdown the plant.
If used, the functional first relay activates at 80% and is an early warning alarm.
The second main alarm and third (slow or shutdown) alarm are activated at 100%.
FAULT ALARM (See Sheet-39)
A fault alarm relay is completely divorced from the other relay systems and is only
activated after a fault has developed in the oil mist detection system. No relays will
activate for 2.5 seconds, as the Monitor will check first that the fault is in the system
and not a problem with the environment.
Even when this fault alarm relay is activated the instrument goes on monitoring
unless there is a major malfunction of the Monitor or Sensor. Information is also being
continuously given as a digital display of the highest concentration of oil mist and its
location.
The digital display will always indicate the channel (i.e. area) with the highest level of
oil mist.
IN THE EVENT OF A FAULT ALARM IT WILL BE THE FIRST CHANNEL TO GO
INTO THE FLASHING GREEN, AMBER, RED CONDITION THAT IS INDICATED ON THE
DISPLAY (F1, F2, AND F3)
.
NOTE: THERE IS A ONE - MINUTE DELAY
when the fault alarm sounds. After a self -
test or a channel check the display will always revert to the channel with the highest
oil mist level reading.
