Low Water Flow Alarm
If a water meter(s) is connected to a digital input of the Control, then the
Control can be set to detect low water flow and activate the alarm relay. If
the water flowing through the water meter(s) falls below the gallons (liters)
per hour set in the Alarm Settings screen (Screen 8 alarms settings tab) for
longer than the amount of delay time set in the Alarm Settings screen, then
the alarm relay will be activated. The alarm recovers when the water flow
returns above the low water flow setting. The low water flow alarm can be
disabled during the light clocks OFF time, or can be set to be inactive during
a particular time of day. This temporary disabling of the low water flow
alarm is set in the Setup-Control, Other screen. The Low water flow alarm
option must be answered YES in the Setup-General: House equipped for
screen (Screen 13, Equipped For tab).
High Water Flow
If a water meter(s) is connected to a digital input of the Control, then the
Control can be set to detect high water flow and activate the alarm relay. If
the water flowing through the water meter(s) goes above the gallons (liters)
per hour set in the Alarm Settings screen (Screen 8 alarms settings tab) for
longer than the amount of delay time set in the Alarm Settings screen, then
the alarm relay will be activated. The alarm recovers when the water flow
returns below the high water flow setting. The High water flow alarm option
must be answered YES in the Setup-General: House equipped for screen
(Screen 13, Equipped For tab).
Max Feed Runtime Alarm
If a dry contact relay whose coil is energized when the fill system's hopper
level switch calls for the fill system to run is connected to a digital input of
the Control, then the Control can be set to detect excessive fill system run
time and activate the alarm relay. The alarm is activated when the digital
input assigned to the Max Feed runtime alarm is closed for longer than the
time entered in the Alarm Setting screen (Screen 8, settings tab). The Control
can shut off the relays that are assigned to the feed clock when the Max feed
run time alarm occurs. These relays will not turn on again until the user has
noticed the alarm. The Max Feed Runtime Alarm option must be answered
YES in the Setup-General: House equipped for screen (Screen 13, Equipped
For tab) The option of turning off the Feed Clock relays during a Max Feed
run time alarm is set in the Setup-Control: Other screen (Screen 14, Other
tab).
IOnet ALARM
An IOnet Alarm will occur when the Control can not communicate with one
or more of the Manual Switch Boards. The alarm relay will stay energized
until the alarm is noticed. If the IOnet alarm condition has been corrected
then the alarm status will return to normal. If the IOnet alarm condition has
not been corrected the IOnet alarm will appear again after being noticed. See
the trouble shooting section of this manual for more information on
correcting IOnet Alarms.
