ALARM 1 SETPOINT 1 TYPE—Select what you 
want Setpoint 1 of Alarm 1 to represent. It can 
represent the Process Variable, Deviation, Input 1, 
Input 2, Output, and if you have a model with 
communications, you can configure the controller to 
alarm on SHED. If you have setpoint programming, 
you can alarm when a segment goes ON or OFF.

 ATTENTION  
NOTE 1. When the controller is configured for Three 
Position Step Control, alarms set for Output will not 
function. 
 
  NOTE 2. Alarm 1 is not available if the Timer is 
enabled because Alarm 1 is dedicated to Timer 
output. 
 
 
NOTE 3. This Deviation Alarm is based upon 
deviation from the 2nd Local Setpoint or Remote SP 
regardless of whichever SP is active. 
 
 
NOTE 4. Loop Break monitors the control loop to 
determine if it is working. When enabled, the control 
output is checked against the minimum and 
maximum output limit settings. When the output 
reaches one of these limits, a timer begins. If the 
timer expires and the output has not caused the PV 
to move by a pre-determined amount, then the alarm 
activates, thus signalling that the loop is broken. The 
loop break timer value must be configured by the 
operator as the AxSx VAL entry.  This value is in 
seconds with a range of 0 to 3600 seconds.  A 
setting of 0 is equivalent to an instantaneous loop 
break when the output reaches one of its limit
