triggered. If the readings fluctuate outside upper and lower threshold
temperatures, the same rule applies (providing the appropriate “raise alarm” box
is ticked). Once the reading(s) return inside alarm limits, the consecutive alarm
is reset.
Total number of out of specification readings (cumulative) –
the
alarm is triggered if the total number of out of spec readings equals or exceeds
the entered value. In this case the alarm is NOT reset if readings return to within
the specified parameters.
Do not set the Total number of out-of-spec readings value to be less than the Consecutive out-of-spec
readings as this will mean that the Consecutive out-of-spec readings alarm will never be triggered.
Degree-Minutes Alarm (Integrator Alarm)
The Degree-Minutes
Alarm is a special
feature that “integrates”
temperature and time
parameters into one
value.
Total number of
degree-minutes
below specs
exceeds -
the alarm is
triggered when the total
number of temperature
degrees times the
minute’s duration below
the low alarm spec is
greater than the value
entered.
Total number of degree-minutes above specs exceeds -
the alarm is
triggered when the total number of temperature degrees times the minute’s
duration above the upper alarm spec is greater than the value entered.
Catastrophe Alarm
This alarm is always additional to the Standard and Degree-Minute alarms and
there is no delay. Do not set Catastrophe Alarm inside normal alarm limits
because other alarms will never be triggered.
Instantly raise alarm on readings below -
tick this box if you want to
immediately trigger the low alarm and select the value in the box immediately to
the right. Note if the lower spec value is 0 °C, then the alarm is triggered at -0.1
°C, not 0.0 C as this value is considered within specification.
Instantly raise alarm on readings above -
tick this box if you want to
immediately trigger the high alarm and select the value in the box immediately
to the right. Note if the upper spec value is 50 °C, then the alarm is triggered at
50.1 °C, not 50.0 °C as this value is considered within specification.
