5-8 ALARM RESET MODE
The automatic reset of all alarm output and alarm lamps can be set when the measured value or
input signal returning to normal. In addition to above, the self-holding function can be also set

5-9 MONITOR OUTPUT / PULSE OUTPUT
The input signal from the sensor or the internally shaped pulse signal is output from the BNC
connector on the monitor front panel and buffer output terminal on the rear panel (VM-5G Single
Unit Instrument Rack, VM-5Y Relay Module Unit).
For details refer to 7. PARAMETER SETTING on page 26.
5-10 RECORDER OUTPUT
An analog signal proportional to the rotor speed is output from the terminal block.
5-11 SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
Any failures in the input system, such as sensor broken or imperfect connections, are detected, then
an OK alarm is contact-output and (simultaneously), the OK lamp flashes.
