4.3.2. Setting program alarms
Program alarms are used only when a program is running. They are global program
parameters and affect all segments. There are three types of alarm:
 Disabled – No alarm
 Fixed – Alarm triggered at a fixed temperature
 Deviation – Alarm triggered when the deviation from the set temperature is exceeded
The alarm temperature defines either a fixed temperature or a deviation temperature
depending on the alarm type. The checkboxes define the actions taken if an alarm is
triggered. The Buzzer and Relay 1 can be switched on and latched if a persistent alarm is
required. Relay 2 is only available with a GP200. Alarm Hold Off specifies the time before
the alarm actions are retriggered once an alarm has been acknowledged. Alarms can be
acknowledged by clicking on the temperature alarms box. The TX150/TXF200 user manual
has further information on the implementation and behaviour of the alarms. The On
Program Completion defines the behaviour after a program ends.
4.3.3. Uploading a program to the Optima
When a program has been created on the PC it must be saved and uploaded to the Optima
before it can be run. Use the following method to upload the program:
1. Select File, Save from the program editor window.
2. Assign a file name to the program in the file save dialog box. The program will be
identified in the controller by the first 11 characters of the file name.
3. Select Bath, Send Program to Bath and select the program slot that the program is to
be stored in the controller. If all slots are full it is necessary to delete a program from the
controller before the new program can be uploaded.
