Alarms
This Chapter explains in detail the alarm features of the Hydran M2-X from an
operator’s point of view. The Hydran
M2-X is a microprocessor-based instrument
with sophisticated alarm features.
Note: Appendix I presents the list of all alarm messages that can appear in the
Perception software. The troubleshooting procedures for the alarms due to
system fault conditions are given in Section
Wiring the alarm contacts (see Section 6.5.1) to safety
tripping devices of the equipment monitored by the Hydran
M2-X is not recommended because it is an early warning
instrument for incipient faults. Information obtained using
the Hydran M2-X should always be used in conjunction with
other available information to decide if the monitored
equipment should be removed from service.
This Chapter contains examples of how to set the gas alarm
parameters of the Hydran M2-X. The values used are
fictitious and do not correspond to any standard. General
Electric Canada does not suggest nor recommend specific
alarm set points for gases or moisture. It is solely the
responsibility of the user to determine the appropriate
settings.
