XFM provides the user with a flexible alarm/warning system that monitors the Gas
Flow for conditions that fall outside configurable limits as well as visual feedback
for the user via the status LED and LCD (only for devices with LCD option) or via
a Relay contact closure.

The flow alarm has several attributes which may be configured by the user via a
digital interface. These attributes control the conditions which cause the alarm to
occur and to specify actions to be taken when the flow rate is outside the speci-
fied conditions.

pressed during power up sequence. The following sequence is

push button.

4.
