This allows each alarm output to switch any dc
circuit providing that in normal operation the
maximum supply voltage is not greater than 30V,
and the current is not greater than 100mA. Pi will
automatically be limited to less than 0.2W by the
safety components within the transmitter.
Fig 10 shows a typical application in which a
BA374NC is displaying the temperature of a
thermocouple in Zone 2. Alarm 1 is controlling a
solenoid valve and alarm 2 a sounder in the safe
area.

11.1.3 Programming & adjustment
When an alarm card is added to a BA374NC
transmitter the Programme Menu is extended as
shown in Fig 11. The additional functions 'ALr1',
'ALr2' and 'AcSP' appear between 'Cond' and
'COde' in the programme menu. For simplicity Fig
11 only shows the functions available on alarm 1,
but alarm 2 has identical facilities.
The alarms relate to the digital display and the
setpoints are shown in the same units as the
display.
The following table summarises each of the alarm
programme functions and includes a cross
reference to more detailed information.
Again only the functions on alarm 1 are listed, but
alarm 2 has identical facilities.
11.2 Summary of programmable alarm
functions.
Display
Summary of function
'EnbL'
Alarm enable
Enables or disables the alarm function
without changing the alarm parameters.
See section 11.3.1
'SP1'
Alarm setpoint 1
Adjusts the alarm setpoint. The alarm
is activated when the indicator display
equals the setpoint.
See section 11.3.2
The setpoint can also be adjusted
directly from the operating mode.
See section 11.4
'HI.LO'
Alarm function
Defines whether the alarm has a high
or low function
See section 11.3.3
'no.nc'
Normally open or normally closed
output
Determines whether the single pole
alarm output is open or closed in the
alarm condition.
See section 11.3.4
'HStr'
Hysteresis
Adjusts the alarm hysteresis.
See section 11.3.5
'dELA'
Alarm delay
time
Adjusts the delay between the display
equalling the setpoint and the alarm
output being activated.
See section 11.3.6
'SIL'
Alarm silence time
Defines the time that the alarm output
remains in the non-alarm condition
following acceptance of an alarm.
See section 11.3.7
'AcSP'
Access setpoint
Sub-menu which enables the function
allowing direct access to the alarm
setpoints from the operating mode, and
defines a separate security code.
See section 11.3.8
