Mode Function
NAK Non Latching and Non Acknowledgeable
Relay returns to its non-alarm state when the relay alarm condition has cleared.
Acknowledging the relay alarm whilst the alarm condition is still true will not
reset the relay.
LNAK Latching and Non Acknowledgeable
Returns to its non alarm state when the alarm condition stops and then the
alarm is acknowledged. Acknowledging the relay alarm whilst the alarm
condition is still true will not reset the relay. The relay will not automatically go
back to its non-alarm state when the alarm condition stops.
DNAK
Delay Latching and Non-Acknowledgeable
Relay returns to its non alarm state when the alarm condition stops and the
alarm has been acknowledged. Acknowledging the relay alarm whilst the alarm
condition is still true will not reset the relay. The relay will automatically go back
to its non-alarm state when the alarm condition stops if the relay has already
been acknowledged.
