ALARM
The RME HAWK controller is equipped with an audible alarm feature which notifies the
operator if a field wire or flow fault has been detected. The alarm is an audible “chirp”
which occurs once every 6 seconds. It remains in effect until the alarm is cleared by you.
With the alarm on, the chirp will be heard by anyone passing by the controller.
