MSB780(X) - User’s Guide
Use "QUANT", "MAX" and "MIN" buttons to alter quantity and limits settings.
You can see available quantities in Table 21 on page 82.
Note: If you swap min/max limits, i.e. in "Alarm min" is higher value than in "Alarm max", then
the alarm also swaps behavior. In such case the alarm is activated when measured value is
inside the interval. Note: If sensor measuring the quantity watched by alarm fails then the alarm
is activated. For example if alarm is set to watch quantity measured by external probe RHT and
the probe is disconnected, alarm is activated.
