6.4.2 Alarm Relays Programming
Program alarms activate based on certain conditions (low battery, low
memory, etc.). When an alarm is tripped, an action is initiated (report via
modem, dial a pager, or set a relay). There are two types of alarms: Trouble
Alarms and Set Point Alarms.
6.4.2.1 Trouble Alarms
Trouble Alarms initiate an action when a trouble condition occurs. For
example, a relay may close when the memory is full. Refer to Troubleshooting
and Error Messages on page 127 for more information on trouble alarms.
1. From the Main Menu, select
SETUP > ADVANCED OPTIONS > ALARMS.
2. Select one of the trouble conditions.
3. Select an action to occur when the alarm is activated. The table below
lists each Trouble Condition. Refer to Appendix C on page 127 for causes
and solutions.
6.4.2.2 Set Point Alarms
Set Point Alarms look for trip points to be reached (either high or low or both)
before initiating an action. For example an initiated action may be the closing
of a relay when the water level exceeds 60 cm (24 in.) or drops below 10 cm
(4 in.) Set Point Alarms activate when a user-definable high and/or low set
point is reached.
