Section 3. Control Set Points and Alarms

3.2 Alarms

PondView provides audio and visual alarms to indicate when critical levels
have been reached. These alarms indicate critical levels of dissolved oxygen,
aerator motor amps, and communication.

To acknowledge the alarm, point to the visual alarm with the mouse and push
the right mouse button. An ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE button will appear.
Select this button and the audio alarm will be deactivated. Alarms will switch
off if the alarm condition on longer exists.

3.2.1 Aerator Alarms

Aerator status is being monitored by the CR10X-TD. Aerator alarms can be
activated on two conditions. If the aerator is supposed to be on but if the amps
being monitored indicate a value that is lower than expected, the amp alarm
will be activated. Also, if the amps being drawn are higher than is expected,
the alarm will be activated.

The high set point will also disable the aerator if the condition is met. For
example, if the amps high set point on aerator 1 in pond 1 is set at 40 amps,
and the amps being monitored indicate 41 amps, then the alarm will be
activated and the aerator will be switched off.

These two set points are selected by clicking with the mouse on the aerator that
is desired. Alarms have both a visual display and an audio sound. They are
activated every 30 seconds.
