Alarm Indications

NOTE:

The Beacon 110 includes alarm on and alarm off delay settings for alarm 1 and
alarm 2. The alarm indications described in this section operate according to
the factory set alarm settings. See Table 7 on page 27 for all the factory
settings.

NOTE:

You can select normally energized (N. EN) or normally de-energized (N. DE-
EN) alarm 1 and alarm 2 relay settings in Configuration Mode. The following
sections describe the standard factory setting for these relays which is
N. DE-EN.

The fail relay is set as normally energized in the firmware and is not user-
