Overview of standard alarm settings (for Polytron 8700
with PIR 7000, configured for methane, full scale reading
of 100 %LEL)
The function for setting the A1 hysteresis is opened.
This function permits the setting of a zone within which
a triggered relay maintains its status until the gas concentration
is outside the zone. This function prevents relays from
chattering at an alarm threshold.
Example: A2 at 40 %LEL methane
Maximum possible hysteresis: 3 %LEL
Alarm activation at measured values ≥40 %LEL
Alarm deactivation at measured values ≤37 %LEL (40 %LEL -
3 %LEL)
11. Select the line for entering the hysteresis and confirm.
12. Set the hysteresis for A1 and confirm.
The hysteresis setting for A1 is displayed.
13. Select Next and confirm.
The settings for A1 are displayed.
14. Select and confirm with Confirm.
The settings for the A1 alarm are now complete.
Testing Alarm A1
This function simulates the A1 alarm status.
1. Select Settings > Instrument > Alarm > Set Alarm A1
and confirm.

Testing Alarm A2
This function simulates the A2 alarm status.
1. Select Settings > Instrument > Alarm > Set Alarm A2
and confirm.
2. Select On or Off and confirm.
When the function is activated, the relay and the interface are
set to the A2 alarm status and the red LED gives double flashes.
Testing Fault status
This function simulates the Fault alarm.
1. Select Settings > Instrument > Alarm > Set fault
and confirm.
2. Select On or Off and confirm.
When the function is activated, the Fault relay and the 4-20 mA
interface are set to the fault current and the yellow LED lights.
