5.2 ALARM
OPERATION
GM ECX’s have front panel LED indicators for Alarm 1, Alarm 2 and FAIL.
CAUTION:
GM ECX Alarm LED indicators function even without the presence of the 10-0234
Relay option. With battery power operation, to conserve power, alarm LED’s only flash during
alarm events.
5.2.1 ALARM 3 – UNDERSTANDING FAULT / LEVEL OPERATION
The “A3” alarm is typically dedicated to FAULT conditions indicating sensor failures or “out of
measurement range” conditions. However, some applications require a third level alarm. The A3
menu is identical to A1 & A2 and may be set to trip at an upscale level value. A3 WILL ALSO
TRIP WITH MISSING OR FAILED SENSORS REGARDLESS OF THE LEVEL VALUE!
CAUTION:
Missing or failed sensors always flash the Alarm 3 led. This is true even with A3
configured as a level alarm and users should be aware that A3 level alarm events might be
caused by the monitored level, or, by a missing or failed sensor.
