Device alarm handling
A device alarm incident will usually lead to DC output switch-off, the appearance of a pop-up in the middle of the display and,
if activated, an acoustic signal to make the user aware. An alarm must always be acknowledged.
►
How to acknowledge an alarm in the display (during manual control)
1.
If the alarm is currently shown as pop-up, tap
Acknowledge
.
2.
If the alarm has already been acknowledged, but is still displayed in the status area, then
first tap the status area to display the pop-up and then
Acknowledge
.
In order to acknowledge an alarm during analog remote control see
device alarms“. To acknowledge in digital remote control, refer to the external documentation
“Programming guide ModBus & SCPI”.

AC supply over- or undervoltage. Triggers an alarm in case the AC supply is out of
specification or when the device is cut from supply, for example when switching it
off with the power switch. The DC terminal will be switched off. The condition of the
DC terminal after a temporary PF alarm can be determined by the setting

Acknowledging a PF alarm during runtime can only occur approx. 15 seconds after
the cause of the alarm has gone. Switching the DC output on again requires another
approx. 5 seconds of waiting time.
