NOTE: The value of the Low Temperature Alarm must be less than the value of
the High Temperature Alarm.
c) High Temperature Alarm (Numerical entry)
The limit of the required High Temperature Alarm value can be entered in currently
selected units, in increments of 0.1 degree within the range of -19.9 °C to 70.0 °C. If a
High Alarm occurs, and SSR output is assigned to the High Temperature Alarm event
(see Section 6.4.15.6), the SSR output will be activated when the Temperature
reading is greater than the High Temperature Alarm value.
The High Temperature Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding Process
Information Screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the “H”
alert, meaning High.
NOTE: The value of the High Temperature Alarm must be greater than the value
of the Low Temperature Alarm.
d) Temperature Alarm Action Delay (Numerical entry)
The Temperature Alarm Action Delay is a time period in seconds that the Temperature
reading value may remain above the High limit or below the Low limit before an Alarm
condition is activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default
value is 0: no delay.
e) Temperature Alarm Power On Delay (Numerical entry)
Sometimes it is convenient to enable the Temperature Alarm only after a specifi ed
power-up delay interval. The “Temperature Alarm Power On Delay” option allows the
user to set a specifi ed time interval that will have to elapse from the device power-up
event before the Temperature Alarm function will be activated. Valid settings are in the
range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 0: no delay.
f) Temperature Alarm Action Latch (Tabular entry)
The Temperature Alarm Action Latch settings control the Latch feature. If SSR output
is a assigned to the Temperature Alarm Event, in some cases the Temperature Alarm
Latch feature may be desirable.
Two settings are available: Disabled or Enabled. By default, the Temperature Alarm is
non-latching. This means that the Alarm Action is indicated only if the monitored
Temperature reading exceeds the user specifi ed conditions.
