Setting An Alarm - Omega SP-003 User Manual

The DeadBand field together with the direct or reverse control action configures a deadband range around the
Setpoint where the ON/OFF control does not toggle. The unit of the DeadBand field will be the same as the unit
of the chosen Input.
•
Example 1: the setpoint is configured for a 50 Hz rate input with a deadband of 10 Hz with direct
control action. The output will activate if the input rises above 60 Hz. Conversely, the output will
become inactive if the input falls below 50 Hz.
•
Example 2: the setpoint is configured for a 50 Hz rate input with a deadband of 10 Hz with reverse
control action. The output will activate if the input falls below 40 Hz. Conversely, the output will
become inactive if the input rises above 50 Hz.
The Save button saves and applies the configurations settings to the ON/OFF control module. The Delete
button only appears for a previously saved ON/OFF control module and it removes the module and allows other
output types to be configured such as an alarm or mapping.

Setting an Alarm

Alarms are set by clicking the
Configure the Condition that triggers the alarm by selecting an option from the drop down such as Above or
Below. The Threshold field(s) will change to display whatever is appropriate for the option chosen such as a
High Threshold for an Above condition or a Low Threshold for a Below condition. A Duration can be set for
the trigger as well where the condition must be met for a certain amount of time before the alarm flags.
Under the Action menu, the option to transmit or not transmit a notification can be set. The option to
enable an output can also be set. The output chosen must not be currently used in a sensor mapping or
ON/OFF control module. The data transmission interval may also be changed upon triggering an alarm, e.g.
increase the rate of transmission if an excessive value is detected. The Recovery menu allows the option to
clear the alarm after a certain Duration once the trigger condition is no longer met. The transmission
interval can also be reset to the normal system setting once the alarm is cleared.
