Clamp Value
The value that a proportional value goes to when that channel or proportional
value is bypassed or defeated (For example when a problem occurs with the
transducer). The selected value can be between the minimum and maximum
full-scale range values. Only the values available from the Recorder Outputs,
Communication Gateway and Display Interface Module are clamped to the
specified value when the proportional value is invalid.
Recorder Output
The proportional value of a channel that is sent to the 4 to 20 mA recorder.
The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel
full-scale range. An increase in the proportional value that would be
indicated as upscale on a bar graph display results in an increase in the
current at the recorder output. If the channel is Bypassed, the output will be
clamped to the selected clamp value or to 2 mA (if the 2 mA clamp is
selected).
Delay
The time which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level
or below an under alarm level before an alarm is declared as active.
Alert
First level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the
selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. This setpoint can be set on the Setpoint
screen. The Alert time delay is always set at one second intervals (from 1 to
60) for all available proportional values.
Danger
Second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the
selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. This setpoint can be set on the Setpoint
screen.
100 ms option
The 100 ms (typical) option applies to the Danger time delay only and has
the following results:
- If the 100 ms option is off (
):
- The Danger time delay can be set at one second intervals (from 1 to
60).
- The Danger time delay can be set for any two available proportional
values.
