1 Alarm is not
present:
The display does not show any alarm.
The alarm LED is dark.
2 Unacknowl-
edged state:
The alarm has exceeded its set point and delay, and the alarm message is dis-
played. The GPC-3 is in the alarm state, and it can only leave the alarm state if the
cause of the alarm disappears and the alarm message is acknowledged at the same
time. The alarm LED is flashing.
3 Acknowledged
state:
The alarm will be in an acknowledged state if the alarm situation is present and the
alarm has been acknowledged. The alarm LED is lit with fixed light. Any new alarm
will make the LED flash.
Alarm acknowledge
The alarms can be acknowledged in two ways, either by means of the binary input “Alarm acknowledge” or
the push-buttons on the display.
Digital acknowledge input
The alarm acknowledge input acknowledges all present alarms, and the alarm LED will change from flashing
light to fixed light (alarms still present) or no light (no alarms present).
It is not possible to acknowledge individual alarms with the binary alarm acknowledge input.
All alarms will be acknowledged when the input is activated.
Display acknowledge (push-buttons)
The display can be used for alarm acknowledgement when the alarm info window is entered. Pressing the
“INFO” button will open this window.
The alarm information window displays one alarm at a time together with the alarm state (alarm acknowl-
edged or not). If the alarm is unacknowledged, move the cursor to “ACK” and press select to acknowledge it.
