21.7 Behavior of the Alarm Outputs
21.7.1 Apparent Switching Delay
Measured values and totalizer values will be displayed rounded to two decimal places.
The limits, however, will be compared to the non-rounded measured values. This might
cause an apparent switching delay when the measured value changes marginally (less
than two decimal places). In this case, the switching accuracy of the output is greater
than the accuracy of the display.
21.7.2 Reset and Initialization of the Alarms
After a cold start, all alarm outputs will be initialized as follows:
Press key C three times during the measurement to set all alarm outputs to the idle state.
Alarm outputs whose switching condition is still met will be activated again after 1 s. This
function is used to reset alarm outputs of the type HOLD if the switching condition is not
met anymore.
By pressing key BRK, the measurement will be stopped and the main menu selected. All
alarm outputs will be de-energized, independently of the programmed idle state.
21.7.3 Alarm Outputs during Transducer Positioning
At the beginning of the transducer positioning (bar graph display), all alarm outputs
switch back to the programmed idle state.
If the bar graph is selected during measurement, all alarm outputs will switch back to the
programmed idle state.
An alarm output of the type HOLD that has been activated during the previous measure-
ment will remain in the idle state after the transducer positioning if the switching condition
is not met anymore.
Switching of the alarms into the idle state will not be displayed.
21.7.4 Alarm Outputs during Measurement
An alarm output with switching condition MAX or MIN will be updated max. once per sec-
ond to avoid humming (i.e. fluctuation of the measured values around the value of the
switching condition).
An alarm output of the type NON-HOLD will be activated if the switching condition is met.
It will be deactivated if the switching condition is not met anymore. The alarm will remain
activated min. 1 s even if the switching condition is met for a shorter period of time.
Alarm outputs with the switching condition QUANT. will be activated if the limit is reached.
