4. Alarm Explanation: Rising and Falling Alarms
a. Rising: If the Danger (Low Level Alarm) is set to a lower value than the Alarm (High Level
Alarm), then the GA-170 will automatically configure the channel as a Rising Alarm (i.e., if
the sensor reading is higher than the Danger or Alarm settings, then the GA-170 will activate
alarm conditions).
b. Falling: If the Danger (Low Level Alarm) is set to a higher value than the Alarm (High
Level Alarm), then the GA-170 will automatically configure the channel as a Falling Alarm
(i.e., if the sensor reading is lower than the Danger or Alarm settings, then the GA-170 will
activate alarm conditions).
c. Failsafe Alarms: If a sensor channel is set to Failsafe, then the corresponding High Level
alarm relay will normally be energized. This will cause to reverse the NC/NO connections.
Therefore, the NC connections will be OPEN unless an alarm condition is present or power is
lost.
