This parameter allows the user to set the Alarm-1 and Alarm-2 relays to either failsafe or non-
failsafe action. Failsafe action is defined as; relay coils are not powered (contacts are in normal
position) in active alarm state. Non-Failsafe action is defined as; relay coils are powered (contacts
are in non-normal position) in active alarm state. The Alarm-1 and Alarm-2 Relays Failsafe setting
may be set to “YES” or “NO”. This setting is accessed from the Alarm and Relay Setup Menu by
typing “1” or “F” on the RS-232 terminal.

below this threshold level. The Alarm-1 setpoint may be set anywhere from 0.0 % to 100.0 %.
