Warning and Alarm Schedule.
Alarm Limits
The Fume Hood Controller contains high and low flow alarm limits, HI ALM LMT and
LOW ALM LMT, respectively.
The alarm limits are defined as a percentage of the controller setpoint; therefore, the
alarm limits apply to EXH STPT during normal control.
For either of the alarms to become active, the alarm condition must be maintained for
the time specified in ALARM TIME.
When the actual flow is greater than HI ALM LMT or less than LOW ALM LMT for a
time greater than ALARM TIME, the red LED illuminates, HIGH ALM or LOW ALM
turns ON, the audible alarm on the Operator Display Panel sounds, “High Alarm” or
“Low Alarm” is displayed. See Figure
Warning and Alarm Schedule
.
Alarm Output
The digital output DO7 can be used for local indication of an alarm condition. The
output will be turned ON if EMER ALM, GEN FAILURE, LOW ALM, or HI ALM are ON
and the output will be OFF when they are all OFF.
Horn Disable
When the alarm silence button is pressed, ALM AKNLG turns ON, the audible alarm
turns OFF, and the red LED stays ON. The alarm descriptor remains until the flow
returns to the normal range and ALM AKNLG turns OFF. Alarm limits always override
any current warning limits.
