ALARM PROCESSING
INPUT ALARM FUNCTIONS
The E option panel will monitor the status of the ana-
log and digital inputs, and generate alarm messages
as required. Digital alarms and user-defined analog
alarms are fully programmable. The user is able to
select the type of alarm, the state of the input that will
trigger the alarm, and the alarm message when it is
active. The configurations are defined as follows:

Alarm Active
The user is able to select when the alarm is active.
The options will be as follows:
• Disabled: If this option is selected, the alarm is
disabled and has no effect.
• Always: With this option selected, the alarm is
active regardless of the state of the generator.
• Immediate: In this mode, the alarm is not active
when the generator is stationary. It becomes active
as soon as the generator starts to crank and
remains active until the generator stops.
• Hold Off: This option waits until a preset time
after the generator is running before becoming
active. The hold off time can be set by the user.
Note that the hold off time is common to
all alarms.
