Alarm and Relay Thresholds
Alarm thresholds, relay programming, the management of time delays, and
methods of release are controlled over the COM43 application.
Note: It is possible to modify an alarm limit via the Programming menu of
MX43.
Parameters of Detector alarms
It is possible to program the following for each detector:
■ 3 alarm thresholds.
■ Each value is configurable in increasing or decreasing values.
■ Each alarm is configurable as an instantaneous and/or average alarm of
15 to 480 minutes.
■ Each alarm has an adjustable lag of 0 to +3% (or -3% for a negative alarm)
for the value of the range of measurement, by pitch steps of 1%.
■ A high-range excess alarm (OVS: over scale).
■ A UDS low-range excess alarm (UDS: underscale).
■ A “clear doubt” alarm (in the case of explosive gas detectors).
The alarms may be programmed for automatic or manual release (except
OVS, UDS, and clear doubt).
