Flow Rate Alarm
NOTE: Flow rate alarms are not indicated on the meter’s LCD. They are
indicated only in the logs.
Threshold (the flow rate unit selected for the meter’s display) – set the
minimum value for activating the flow rate alarm. When the flow rate is above this
threshold the alarm is triggered after a given start time passes.
NOTE: The threshold value needs to be equal or above the minimum value
the device can measure.
Start Duration (time unit) – set the number of minutes/seconds (whether it’s
minutes or seconds depends on the selected display units) that must pass with
a flow rate above the threshold to trigger the alarm. If the flow rate decreases to
below the threshold within this period, the start duration count will start anew.
End Duration (time unit) – set the number of minutes/seconds (whether it’s
minutes or seconds depends on the selected display units) that must pass with
a flow rate below the threshold value to stop the alarm. If the flow rate increases
and exceeds the threshold within this period, the end duration count will start
anew.
Leakage
Threshold (selected unit) – set the minimum value for activating the leakage
alarm. When the detected leakage is above this threshold the alarm is triggered
after a given start time passes.
NOTE: The threshold value needs to be equal or above the minimum value the
device can measure.
Start Duration (hrs) – set how many hours must pass with a flow rate above
the threshold to trigger the alarm. If the flow rate decreases to below the
threshold within this period, the start duration count will start anew.
End Duration (min) – set the number of minutes that must pass with a flow rate
below the threshold value to stop the alarm. If the flow rate increases and
exceeds the threshold within this period, the end duration count will start anew.
