Operation
(continued)
Normal Operating Condition (no Limit Alarm):
Limit Output Relay: Energized
LIMIT LED: Off
Limit Alarm Condition:
Limit Output Relay: De-Energized
LIMIT LED: ON
If the controller type is set as a high limit con-
troller, the output is activated when the process
variable exceeds the setpoint. If set as a low
limit controller, the output is activated when the
process variable drops below the setpoint (see
Figure 5.1 on the following page).
Power Down Recovery:
In the event of a power failure, the 3101 will re-
tain the current status of the Limit Alarm, record
the Time Over Setpoint (TOSP) and Peak Tem-
perature value (PEAK). The controller will return
to this status when power is restored. If a limit
alarm occurred and power was interrupted, the
controller will restart in the Limit Alarm condition
when power is reapplied.
