Sensor alarm values set the acceptable control range. When a sensor reports a value
≤ low alarm value or ≥ high alarm value, the alarm system becomes active after
the alarm hold off period. See Sensor Setup Controls and Alarms - page 132 for
additional information. If an alarm system is active and alarm relay is enabled, the
alarm relay energizes. See Aux Setup - page 142 for important aux control and
alarm system information.
Notes:
- The Run Screen must be displayed during normal operation. All alarm
functions (5200A alarm emails, energizing of enabled alarm relays,
alarm icons, and buzzer) are suspended in 5200A menus. Alarm
systems are reset when menus are exited to Run Screen.
- The General Alarm system is disabled during systemwide events such as
a Service Hold and a Firmware Download.
- Sensor and Aux alarms must be enabled to trigger the General Alarm.
