Alarms Setup and Control – Example: Concentration Alarm Setup
♦ Select the parameter you want in the menu "Alarms Setup", i.e. "Concentration",
and change to the corresponding menu:
Note: If the setup of the parameter selected is not possible, a corresponding message
will appear on the screen, i.e. no flow sensor installed to measure the flow.
1) Switch off the alarm control:
• Before beginning the alarm parameter setup, you have to select "Off" in the line
"Alarm generation is".
• Otherwise, an alarm may start during the parameter will be configured.
2) Signal limits setup for alarm ("Level -1, ... , -4"):
• You can adjust four limit values for each signal parameter.
• You should fix the low alarm with "Level -2" and the high alarm with "Level -3". Then,
you should save the low alarm with "Level -1" and the high alarm with "Level -4".
• The units and the possible range of values depend on the signal parameter selected.
• You also can adjust negative values:
Select the number with the 88 -key or the →→ -key and press F4 (+/-) to change the sign.
3) Conditions for alarm start ("Alarm-1, ... , -4 if signal is"):
• In these lines you can determine for which kind of exceeding each alarm shall be
generated:
• Less: The alarm message will appear, if the value of the parameter selected is below
the corresponding limit ("Level -1, ..., -4").
• Greater: The alarm message will appear, if the value of the parameter selected is
above the corresponding limit.
4) Switch on the alarm control:
• Select one of the following set-ups to start the alarm control for the parameter limits
selected:
