57 Leica ASP6025
Local alarm
This alarm is external to the Leica ASP6025, e.g. in the office of an instrument operator.
The local alarm is used when the instrument cannot continue with the current program or operation because
of a problem.
If the instrument alarm is ignored for a programmed time (YES button not pressed), the ASP6025 also triggers
a local alarm.
An output is wired for the local alarm. The polarity of the output wiring is configurable in the SYSTEM SETUP
menu.
Remote alarm
This alarm is also external to the Leica ASP6025.
If installed, it might typically be connected to a remote dialer that sends an automated phone message to the
person responsible for after-hours problems.
The remote alarm is only generated when the instrument cannot continue with an infiltration program.
If, in such a case, all alarm notifications have remained unanswered (by pressing the YES button), the remote
alarm is triggered.
Like the local alarm, this remote alarm is a hardware output to which an external alarm system can be
connected.
Here, too, the polarity can be configured to adapt to various external alarm systems in the SYSTEM SETUP
menu of the ASP6025.
In addition to switching the alarm output, the alarm sound is also continued.
The local and remote alarms are also able to be shut off for a certain period of time using the SUSPEND ALARM
button.
The alarm sound and the alarm output for the remote alarm are reset, and the message remains on the screen.
If the message is then not confirmed within a programmed time by pressing the YES button, the alarm sound
is output again and the alarm output for the remote alarm is switched again.
