1.13.3 Alarms
The instrument manages 3 independent internal alarms,
each one controlling the activation of an optional relay,
transistor or control SSR output. Optional modules
(see
section 2)
are installed at the free slots inside the instru -
ment
(see section 1.4)
. B24 and B44 formats have 2 free
slots for output and control modules, while B26 and B46
formats have 3 free slots for output and control modules.
The instrument has 3 front leds that reflect the state of
the 3 internal alarms. These leds are only for local help
during installation, as they are not appropriate for long
distance reading.
Each alarm controls the activation of the relay, transis -
tor or control SSR installed on its associated slot, and the
front led.
• Configurable parameters
Each alarm has several parameters for configuration,
starting with the usual setpoint, hysteresis and maximum
(alarm active when reading is higher than setpoint) or
minimum (alarm active when reading is lower than mini -
mum) alarm types
(see Figure 8).
• Activation and deactivation delays
Each alarm can configure independent activation and
deactivation delays. These delays affect the alarm as a
whole, and the delay will affect the front led and the as -
sociated relay.
• Second setpoint
Configuring a second setpoint creates ‘windowed alarms’.
The windowed alarm controls with a single relay output
if the reading is inside or outside the values defined
(see
Figure 9)
.
• Inverted relay
Activate the ‘inverted relay’ function to invert the activa -
tion logic of the associated relay.
• ‘ Locked alarms’
Activate the ‘locked alarms’ function will force the opera -
tor to interact with the instrument when an alarm has
been activated. Once activated, the alarm will remain
locked at active state, even if the reading returns to a val -
ue below setpoint, until the operator manually unlocks
the alarms pressing the front key ‘LE’ (or the remote key
‘LE’, see section
3.1
).
