6.21 Alarm Reset
If alarms are not defined as latching, they will be reset as soon as the actual level drops below the
limit value level. The hang time is typically 1 s.
Please note that system error(s) cannot be reset as described in the section above. Alarms that
are latching can be reset by briefly connecting the "Alarm Inhibit" (on terminal no. 5) with
ground (GND). In this manner all the Alert and Danger alarms can be reset at once.
For further information on how to reset a system error, please refer to section 6.14 in this
manual.
After the alarm is reset, the LED of the measurement channel changes from
Red
to
Green
.
The alarm reset function of latching alarms is only possible by means of the Compact Setup
software.
6.22 Alarm Inhibit
Alarms can be inhibited (disabled) under certain process conditions (for example for certain speed
ranges).
Inhibit is activated by connecting terminal #5 on the enclosure (marked: "Alarm Inhibit") to ground
(GND), e.g. terminal #6. This procedure will inhibit all Alert and Danger alarms at once, but NOT a
system error alarm.
Please note that inhibit overrules the latch function.
After alarm inhibit has ended, the alarms will be reset automatically.
Alarm inhibit should be used with care. When this function is activated, Alert and Danger alarms
are disabled.
