Configure Alarm Menu
Once you defined the function of an alarm you can define the details of the operation in this menu
Numerical entry screen
If you have to enter numeric values (Like an alarm value (Threshold)) you will see a little
keyboard on the screen where you can enter a numerical value. The decimal point is
located behind the number display field. Once you entered a decimal point followed by
another number, the dot changes into an “E”. If you press this you can enter the scientific
notation, for instance 1.0E-3 = 0.001 or 2.2E2=220.
Threshold
Threshold is the activation value. If you for instance selected a high alarm, the alarm will be
active when the flow value comes over the Threshold value. The value is entered in flow
engineering values that the unit is set for at that moment (for instance in mln/min). If you
change the engineering units of the unit in a later stage, the Threshold value will
automatically adjust itself to the new flow unit.
Important Note
Please note that there is no limit to the value you can enter as a threshold.
Please double check your entered value.
