Emergency Key - Red with Black Letters
EMERGENCY Key
The red
EMERGENCY
key puts the controller into emergency mode. If the room is under negative room
pressure control, the emergency mode will maximize the negative pressure. Conversely, if the room is
under positive room pressure control, the emergency mode will maximize the positive pressure.
Pressing the
EMERGENCY
key will cause the display to flash
”EMERGENCY”,
the red alarm light to
flash on and off and the audible alarm to beep intermittently. To return to control mode press the
EMERGENCY
or
RESET
key.
Alarms
S
URE
F
LOW
has visual (red light) and audible alarms to inform you of changing conditions. The alarm levels (set
points) are determined by administrative personnel, Industrial Hygienists, or the facilities group depending on the
organization.
The alarms, audible and visual, will activate whenever the preset alarm level is reached. Depending on the
S
URE
F
LOW
items installed, programmed alarms will activate when room pressure is low or inadequate, when room
pressure is high or too great, or when the supply or general exhaust air flow is insufficient. When the laboratory is
operating safely, no alarms will sound.
Example: The low alarm is programmed to activate when the room pressure reaches -0.001 inches H
2
O. When the
room pressure drops below -0.001 inches H
2
O (gets closer to zero), the audible and visual alarms
activate. The alarms turn off (when set to unlatched) when the unit returns to the safe range which is
defined as negative pressure greater than -0.001 inches H
2
O.
Visual Alarm Operation
The red light on the front of the unit indicates an alarm condition. The red light is on for all alarm conditions, low
alarms, high alarms, and emergency. The light is on continuously in a low or high alarm condition and flashes in an
emergency condition.
Audible Alarm Operation- EMERGENCY key
When the
EMERGENCY
key is pressed, the audible alarm beeps intermittently until the
EMERGENCY
or
RESET
key is pressed terminating the emergency alarm. The emergency alarm cannot be silenced by pressing the
MUTE
key.
Audible Alarms - All Except Emergency
The audible alarm is continuously on in all low and high alarm conditions. The audible alarm can be temporarily
silenced by pressing the
MUTE
key. The alarm will be silent for a period of time (see
MUTE TIMEOUT
to
program time period). When the time out period ends, the audible alarm turns back on if the alarm condition is still
present.
You can program the audible alarm to be permanently turned off (see
AUDIBLE ALM
). The red alarm light will still
turn on in alarm conditions when audible alarm is turned off.
The audible and visual alarms can be programmed to either automatically turn off when the unit returns to the safe
range or to stay in alarm until the
RESET
key is pressed (See
ALARM
RESET
).
