ALARM FUNCTION LIST
Once a function is programmed in the ‘A1Fu’ and ‘A2Fu’ parameters (Menu 4, Options), set
the setpoint in Menu 1 (‘A1SP’ or ‘A2SP’). For Alarm ON/OFF Timers, set the timer in Menu
4, Options (‘P.TME’). See the separate section on Alarm ON/OFF Timers for details.
Relay trips when the process (PV) exceeds the ‘AxSP’
value (Menu 1).
Relay trips when the process (PV) falls below the ‘AxSP’
value (Menu 1).
The Alarm setpoint equals the Setpoint (SV) plus the
‘AxSP’ (Menu 1) setting. For example, if SV = 400 and
A1SP = +10 then the Alarm relay will trip when the
temperature rises above 410
o
(400 + 10 = 410).
The Alarm setpoint equals the Setpoint (SV) plus the
‘AxSP’ setting. For example, if SV = 400 and A1SP = -10
then the Alarm relay will trip when the temperature falls
below 390
o
(400 – 10 = 390).
Alarm trips when PV is higher than the setpoint band.
Alarm trips when PV is lower than the setpoint band.
