How to Set up Alarms
After setting up distance or level as the primary measurement, the next item in the “Set up
Level,…” menu is the “Set up alarm 1” selection. These menu items allow you to set up an
alarm for measurement # 1, the primary measurement (level or distance).
Note: If no relays are installed, the “Setup alarm” menu item is not displayed.
You can still set up a display alarm that causes the appropriate line in the
display to flash off and on, or to perform some other function. Refer to
Chapter 8 for details on enabling these alternate alarms.
Alarms for measurements other than the primary measurement
(measurement 1) are set up using the “Set up Additional measurements”
menu (Chapter 4). The procedure for entering the alarm parameters is the
same as described in this section.
