5. Configuring Alarms, Relays, and Notifications

Each probe can be monitored to provide multiple alarms, relay activations, and Email
notifications. The 2300 is set up to allow full flexibility of assigning any or all of these outputs
to any or all of the probes, including the virtual probes. You are only limited by the number of
hardwired relays on your controller, four of which are standard but more may be added using
an optional card.

There are unlimited email notifications that may be set up, and by using the recipient’s cell
provider address, to deliver text messages to cell phones of almost all wireless carriers.

5.1. Types of Monitors

To set up these outputs, go to Setup/Probe Configuration and click on one of the probes
listed. Click Next until you reach page 6 of the Wizard, shown in Figure 14 below.

This example is for Probe 5, i.e. the probe in the fifth slot of the configuration list, and is a
Precision Flow meter from digital input 1 (top row of page). Multiple monitors may be used
on each probe, and each is configured separately (see the “Add Monitor” at the bottom).

First, type in a name for this monitor, then choose Monitor Type: the pull down menu is
shown here. There are four control conditions, and four alarm conditions. The differences
between an alarm and a control are minor: both can control relays and send notifications, but
the alarm function also does the following:

1. Switches the panel front display from the RUN screen to a DETAILED screen for the

probe that is in the alarm condition. In the detailed screen, the particular monitor line
that is in alarm mode will be flashing red until acknowledged.
