used, the following features are used to provide Alarm Monitoring and External
Input Signal support.

Also, when either the one of the above mentioned alarms occurs, or an external
signal input is received, the following types of alarm processing output signals and
features are supported.

Furthermore, using the PL’s System Monitor feature (included in the PL’s software
utility disk), allows the easy setting and control (Enable/Disable) of the aforemen-
tioned Alarm Monitor and External Input Signals.
Last, the system monitor feature’s use of an Application Link Library (API-DLL)
allows it to also be used with other applications.

alarm output is limited to the Mirror Disk unit’s LED indicator. (Alternately flashing orange
and green)
