3.9.4.1. Setpoint
The setpoint is in the units of the channel selected. This is the point at which the alarm will activate. If alarm type is
High the alarm will activate when the input exceeds the setpoint. If the alarm is Low the alarm will activate when the
input goes below the setpoint.
3.9.4.2. Reset Point
This is the point at which the alarm will reset or cancel. The difference between Setpoint and Reset Point is the
hysteresis. Note that the Reset Point cannot exceed the set point for a high alarm or be set lower than the setpoint for
a low alarm
3.9.4.3. Alarm Type
The Alarm type can be High (active when actual point value exceeds setpoint) or Low (active when actual point value
is less than setpoint).
3.9.4.4. Lockout
This forces the alarm to wait until the start up condition is not true before activating. For example if you have set a low
alarm at 50 and when you download the configuration the current value is 40, if lockout is checked this will not trigger
an alarm. The current value has to exceed the setpoint of 50 to activate the alarm. At that time anytime the current
value goes below the setpoint it will activate an alarm.
3.9.4.5. Recording Enable
If checked this will cause the device to record whenever there is an alarm (subject to other trigger conditions). There
are two additional options associated with Record Enable. Continuous
– once triggered the device will continue
recording. Alarm Duration – once triggered the device will record for the duration of the alarm then stop when there is
no longer an alarm.
3.9.5. Display
The display tab is for devices that have a display. If the connected device does not have a display you will not see this tab.
The content of the display tab may vary according to the device attached. The typical display window is shown below.
3.9.5.1. LCD Display Function
This is device dependent. There is a Display List on the left that shows the various
option that can be displayed on the device display. The LCD Display on the right
shows the actual data that will be displayed on the device display. There needs to be
at least one item in the LCD Display list. To add an item select it in the Display List
and use the add button “>” to add it to the LCD Display. To remove an item from the
LCD Display, select it and use the remove button
”<” to remove it from the Display
List. The Add All “>>” or Remove All “<<” buttons can be used to add or remove all
items in the lists.
Check the “LCD Always ON” box to keep the display on all the time or select an LCD
Time Out to have the display turn off after the preset number of seconds. Note that
the LCD Always On option does impact battery load.
