3.8  Alarm Outputs 
 
•  Alarms can be used with E5CS@1@@-@ (one alarm point),  E5CS@2@@-@ (two alarm points), 
E5CS@1@@U-@ (one alarm point), and E5CS@2@@U-@ (two alarm points).   
Alarm output conditions are determined by a combination of the “alarm type” and “alarm value”.   
•  The alarm type and alarm value are explained below.

* Alarm values 1 to 7: Set the deviation from the SP (set point) in the 
alarm value (X).   
Alarm 8: Set the absolute value from 0°C/°F in the alarm value (Y).   
*  The default is 2 (Upper-limit alarm). 
 
*  Set the alarm type for alarm 1 (alarm 1 type) using the alarm mode 
switch. 
*  Set the alarm type for alarm 2 (alarm 2 type) in the “alarm 2 type” 
parameter of the initial setting level (5).   
 
■ Alarm Values 
 
•  Alarm values are indicated by “X” and “Y” in the previous table of 
alarm types.   
•  The alarm value 1 setting is set in ALM mode, and alarm value 2 is 
set in ALM2 mode. In ALM mode, ALM is lit in the display, and in 
ALM2 mode, ALM is flashing in the display.   
Operating Procedure 
This procedure sets alarm 1 as an upper-limit alarm. The related 
parameters and settings are shown below. The alarm is output when 
the set point exceeds 10°C. (In this example, the temperature unit is 
°C.) 
 
Alarm 1 type = 2 (upper limit) 
Alarm value 1 = 10
