Select and set the High Limit and Low Limit for the pressure(s) you have selected.
Extreme Alarm Limits
The extreme pressure alarms, Extreme High and Extreme Low, can be made available for your
monitor in Configuration Mode and are additional to the standard High and Low limit alarms. They
are generated by the active pressure alarm source, and are setup in Configuration Mode by adding a set
value (the Δ value) to the high and low alarm limits. This value can be set for each pressure label
individually.
1 Extreme Low Limit
2 Low Limit
3 High Limit
4 Extreme High Limit
5 Δ Extreme Low
6 Δ Extreme High
You need to know which values have been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low
alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range.
• To see the extreme pressure alarms set for your monitor, in the
Setup <Press Label> menu, see
the menu items
Δ Extreme High and Δ Extreme Low.
The extreme pressure alarms are high priority, red alarms, marked
*** in the alarm message.
