3.3.1 Alarm Indication

Up to three alarms can be configured. If any alarm
occurs, the red ALM beacon will flash. A scrolling text
message will describe the source of the alarm (for
example, ALARM 1 HIGH). Any output attached to the
alarm will operate.

Press

and

(Ack) together to acknowledge the alarm

If the alarm is still present, the ALM beacon will light
continuously.

By default alarms are configured as non-latching, de-
energized in alarm. If you require latched alarms,
please refer to the engineering handbook.

3.3.2 Out of Range Indication

If the input is too high, HHHHH will be displayed.

If the input is too low, LLLLL will be displayed.

3.3.3 Sensor Break Indication

An alarm condition (

S.br) is indicated if the sensor or

the wiring between sensor and indicator becomes
open circuit.

For a PRT input, sensor break is indicated if any one of
the three wires is broken.

For mA input, sensor break will not be detected due to
the load resistor connected across the input terminals.

For Volts input, sensor break may not be detected due
to the potential divider network connected across the
input terminals.

3.4 Operator Parameters in Level 1

Operator level 1 is designed for day to day operation of
the indicator, and access to these parameters is not
protected by a pass code.

Press

to step through the list of parameters.

The

mnemonic of the parameter is shown in the lower
display. After five seconds, a scrolling text description
of the parameter appears.

The value of the parameter is shown in the upper
display. In level 1 the value is read only.

The parameters that appear depend upon the
functions configured. They are:
