Functional Description

1.3 Alarms
This function generates an alarm when the measured data meets a certain condition. The alarm occurrence/
release can be recorded on the chart paper. The alarm status can be displayed on the screen.
Also, alarm output relays can be used to output contact signals when alarms occur (/A1, /A2, /A3, /A4, and /A5
options).
Alarm Types
Number of Alarm Point Marks
Up to four alarms can be set for each channel.
Alarm Conditions
The eight conditions below are available. The character inside the parentheses is the symbol used to denote each
alarm on the recorder.
• High Limit Alarm (H)
An alarm occurs when the input value exceeds the alarm value.
• Low Limit Alarm (L)
An alarm occurs when the input value falls below the alarm value.

• Difference High Limit Alarm (h)*
An alarm occurs when the difference in the input values of two channels is greater than or equal to the
specified value.
• Difference Low Limit Alarm (l)*
An alarm occurs when the difference in the input values of two channels is less than or equal to the specified
value.
* Can be specified on channels set to delta computation.
• High Limit on Rate-of-Change Alarm (R)
The rate-of-change of the measured values is checked over a certain time (interval). An alarm occurs if the
rate-of-change of the measured value in the rising direction is greater than or equal to the specified value.
• Low Limit on Rate-of-Change Alarm (r)
The rate-of-change of the measured values is checked over a certain time (interval). An alarm occurs if the
rate-of-change of the measured value in the falling direction is greater than or equal to the specified value.

The alarm value of the rate-of-change alarm is set using an absolute value. The interval is derived using the
following equation and set using the number of samples.
Interval = the scan interval X the number of samples
