For the alarm, you can adjust two limits:
•
Limit 1 is an upper limit. If the measured value exceeds limit 1, an alarm is issued.
•
Limit 2 is a lower limit. The alarm is issued if the measured value drops below limit 2.
In case of alarm the display shows the message „limit 1“ (or 2, respectively) and relay 3 is switched ON. This
relay can be used to activate an external horn or lamp.
NOTE
The limit function is active only if the controller is set on automatic mode. When you switch the controller to
MAN, the alarm is extinguished.
5.8.1
Turn-on delay
In some applications it happens regularly that the measured value exceeds a limit for a short period of time.
To avoid having an alarm issued under these circumstances you can adjust a turn-on delay which has to
pass before an alarm is issued. If the turn- on delay time is >0 then the alarm is issued only if the cause of
alarm remains longer than the specified turn-on delay time.

In the basic settings of the controller you can define, how long a controller is supposed to dose with 100%
without raising alarm.
If the controller output is 100% for more than the specified time, this is interpreted as an indication of failure,
and the device issues an alarm and deactivates the controller, thus stopping further dosage.
The dosage check is a safety catch to prevent hazardous chemicals to be set free in case of a defective
dosing tube or tube connection.
NOTE
In case of an alarm due to dosage check, only the controller concerned is deactivated.
NOTE
If you set the dosage check time to 0 minutes, the dosage check function is deactivated.
