The Remote Alarm Controller is used to indicate when
the monitoring unit has exceeded its preset trigger levels
for a Warning signal and Alarm signal. The trigger level
settings can be configured based on the specific sensors
connected to the units. The secondary Alarm trigger
levels must be set higher than the Warning trigger levels.
The remote alarm outputs are isolated from the
seismograph using normal open relay contacts capable
of switching loads up to 2 amps and 24 volts DC.
The connections from the remote alarm output terminals
to the alarm device(s) can be extended over long
distances provided there is enough voltage available for
the alarm device.
Example:
Pile driving operations often monitor
ground vibrations. The remote alarm can trigger
a
Warning
signal to notify an operator that the
activity has exceeded the preset trigger level and
appropriate action may be required. If the secondary
Alarm
triggers, (when activity exceeds the dedicated
Vibration Alarm Trigger Level) the operator is notified
that operations should cease immediately
