Disable All Alarms checkbox
Check this box to disable all alarms for a channel.
Latch Rate Alarm checkbox
When you enable this alarm, a Rate Alarm indication will remain set even when the alarm condition goes away. This latch allows you to maintain the alarm even after the condition ceases. The alarm will only unlatch with an explicit message acknowledging the alarm (unlatch service).
UnLatch Alarm Button
When you select the Unlatch button, all portions of the alarms for the current channel will unlatch as the result of an explicit message (unlatch service request) sent to the module.
Process Alarms
High High Alarm
Set the level of input to a channel that will cause the module to set the High High alarm. The alarm will remain until the input returns below this level, unless it is within the deadband, or as long as the alarm is latched.
High Alarm
Set the level of input to a channel that will cause the module to trigger the High alarm. The alarm will remain until the input returns below this level, unless it is within the deadband, or as long as the alarm is latched.
Low Alarm
Set the level of input on a channel that will cause the module to enable the low alarm. The alarm will remain until the input returns above this level, unless it is within the deadband, or as long as the alarm is latched.
Low Low Alarm
Set the level of input to a channel that will cause the module to indicate a low low alarm. The alarm remains until input returns above this level, unless it is within the deadband, or as long as the alarm is latched.
