Appendix E: Alarms and Relays
Alarm Relays
The Pulsar Edge can be configured to provide up to six alarm relays depending on the controller
configuration. Four alarm relays provide the alarm condition and two provide the overall system
severity associated with the alarm.
Presently, the maximum number of relays available in the Infinity NE841A and QS841E is six. The
maximum number of relays in the CP841A and SPS841A controllers is five. The severity relays transmit
Power Major (PMJ) or Power Minor (PMN). Each alarm is factory assigned a severity based on industry
practices, however, they may be reassigned to MAJ, MIN, Warning, or RO (Record Only). An alarm
condition with the RO severity results in the system controller not transmitting the alarm but is stored
in the history log. PCR, PMJ nor PMN severities are transmitted along with the alarm.
The four selectable alarm relays are called User Alarm Relay 1 (R1) through User Alarm Relay 4 (R4).
Relays are user definable in that the user may assign any combination of alarms from a given set of
alarms. The following table shows which alarms may be assigned along with their factory default
settings.
Alarms
Table 10 shows a list of all alarms along with their descriptions, default settings, ranges and/or
severity, and affected alarm relays and LEDs. Controllers with less relays than six will lose user relays
starting with R4, then R3, etc.
