Chain message to another
With this attribute you can link two messages together so that the
second message runs automatically after the Wait Time for the
message has expired. The second message requires no additional
triggering and no special modification of its attributes to respond.
Also, the link is independent of the second message, which means
that the second message can also run independently under other
circumstances.
The second message will have its own attributes, which may be
different from those of the first message. There is no limit to the
number of messages that can be chained together, and messages can
be chained to Special Messages.
Note: The Chain Message to Another attribute is disabled if
AutoRepeat is active.
Activate this attribute by entering a valid message number.
Energize relay
Activating this attribute will display the message and energize the
DL40 message display’s alarm relay whenever the message is
triggered.
Important: The alarm relay will not de-energize even after the Wait
Time for message has expired. The relay will de-energize when:
•
a message is run for which the Energize relay attribute is not
activated
•
any Special Message runs
•
the DL40 message display leaves the Run Mode
Important: AutoClear de-energizes the alarm relay only if the
message which is cleared has the Energize relay enabled.
!
ATTENTION: Use the relay for annunciator purposes
only. Do not use it for control.
Select Yes to activate or No to deactivate.
