SW Alarm Config tab
Figure 26: Software Alarm Config tab
The SW (software) Alarm Config tab allows the user to set alarms in software to be
used by a DDE (dynamic data exchange). The settings here create links for the
DDE to interpret using the standard protocol as listed in section 4 below. For
single gas instruments such as the Rapidox 1100Z only the parameters for channel
1 are used. For the Rapidox 1100ZR3 (multichannel) all three channels can have
software programmed alarms defined.
36)
Channel 1 Alarms:
Select an option from Enabled or Disabled to activate
the alarms on this channel. The default is Disabled.
37)
CH1 Alarm 1 Set Point:
The current units (% or ppm) are displayed by the
text and can be changed using the “Units” drop down menu. Enter a set
point for the first software alarm here. For example, for an alarm set point
at 30% O
2
, enter “30” into the edit box. Note that alarm 1 is triggered when
RISING above this value.
38)
CH1 Alarm 2 Set Point:
Enter a set point for the second software alarm
here. For example, for an alarm set point at 0.01% O
2
, enter “0.01” into the
edit box. Note that alarm 2 is triggered when FALLING below this value.
If you are working with a Rapidox 1100ZR3 with three gas inlets then repeat this
process for the remaining channels 2 and 3. Otherwise these additional boxes
remain greyed out.

This only applies to the multi-channel Rapidox
