e.g.  An Rate Totaliser with a high alarm set at 9000
and an alarm delay of 30 seconds will perform as
follows:

The alarm annunciator will start to flash when an
increasing rate display equals 9000, but the alarm
output will not be activated until the alarm condition
has existed continuously for 30 seconds.  When the
alarm output is activated, the alarm annunciator will
stop flashing and become permanently activated.

If  the  ‘FL5H’  function,  which  flashes  the  Rate
Totaliser display when an alarm occurs, has been
enabled, it will not start to function until the alarm
output is activated.  
See section 10.3.12

10.3.11  Alarm silence time:   5iL

This function is primarily intended for use in small
installations where the alarm output directly operates
an alarm annunciator such as a sounder or beacon.
When  the  alarm  silence  time,  which  is  adjustable
between   0   and   3600   seconds   in   1   second
increments, is set to any figure other than zero, the

P

  push-button  becomes  an  alarm  accept  button.

After an alarm has occurred, operating the 

P

 button

will cause the alarm output to revert to the non-alarm
condition for the programmed alarm silence time.  If
the  alarm  condition  still  exists  at  the  end  of  the
silence  time,  the  alarm  output  will  be  reactivated.
During  the  silence  time  the  Rate  Totaliser  alarm
annunciator will flash until the silence time expires or
the alarm is cleared. 

If  the  ‘FL5H’  function,  which  flashes  the  Rate
Totaliser display when an alarm occurs has been
enabled, it will only function when the alarm output
is  activated,  not  during  the  silence  time.    See
section 10.3.12

To adjust the alarm silence time select '5iL' from the
alarm  configuration  menu  and  press  

P

 which  will

reveal the existing silence time.  The flashing digit of
the silence time can be adjusted using the 

 and 

push buttons, and the  

P

 button to move control to

the other digits.  When the required silence time has
been entered press 

E

 

to return to the alarm menu.

10.3.12 Flash display when alarm occurs

 

‘FL5H’

In  addition  to  the  two  alarm  annunciators  on  the
Rate Totaliser display which show the status of both
alarms,  this  function  provides  an  even  more
conspicuous indication that an alarm condition has
occurred.    

When enabled, the rate or total display depending
upon  which  has  caused  the  alarm,  alternates
between   the   numerical   value   and   the   alarm
reference, ‘ALr1’ or ‘ALr2’ when the alarm output is
activated.  If both alarm outputs are activated by one

variable,  the  display  alternates  between  the
numerical value and ‘Alr1-2’.

To enable or disable the function select 'FL5H' from
the alarm menu and press  

P

 which will reveal the

current  setting.    The  function  can  be  changed  by
pressing the 

 or 

 button followed by the 

E

 button

to return to the alarm menu.

10.3.13  Access setpoint in display mode:  

         AC5P

This  function  enables  a  separate  menu  providing
access to the alarm setpoints from the display mode
by  simultaneously  operating  the  

P

 and  

 push

buttons.  An operator can therefore adjust the alarm
setpoints without having access to the Rate Totaliser
configuration  menu.    Protection  against  accidental
adjustment of the setpoints when the Rate Totaliser
is  in  the  display  mode  is  provided  by  a  separate
security code.

This direct setpoint access menu is enabled and the
separate  security  code  entered  from  the  'AC5P'
function in the alarm configuration menu as shown in
Fig  14.    To  change  the  menu  parameters  select
'AC5P'  from  the  configuration  menu  and  press  

P

which will display the enable prompt 'EnbL'.  Press 

P

again to reveal if the direct access menu is 'on' or
'oFF'.  The 

 or  

 button  will  toggle  the display

between the two conditions.  

If 'oFF' is selected, the operator will not have access
to the setpoints from the display mode.  Return to
the 'AC5P' prompt in the main menu by pressing

 

E

twice.  

If   'on'   is   selected,   the   operator   will   have   direct
access to the alarm setpoints from the display mode
via a separate optional security code.   To define this
four digit security code press 

P

 to return to the 'Enbl'

prompt followed by the 

 or 

 button to select the

access code prompt 'ACCd'.   Pressing 

P

 

will reveal

the current security code.   Each digit of the code
may be changed by operating the 

 and 

 push

buttons, and the 

P

 

button to move control to the next

digit.  When the required code has been entered,
press  

E

 twice to return to the 'AC5P' prompt in the

configuration menu.

Default  code  0000  will  disable  the  security  code
allowing direct access to the setpoints in the display
mode  by  pressing  the

 

P

 

and  

 buttons

simultaneously.    Unless  otherwise  requested  new
instruments  with  alarms  are  supplied  with  this
function disabled and the security code set to 0000.
