    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com ALARM TRIGGERS DEFINED After collecting all the data the DB44 DSP core compares the values measured with the predefined by the user threshold levels for all the channels monitored. In case that any parameter is out of its limits, the device will initiate the sending of alarm notification via the alarm type selected.
  • Page 35 65 Aleksandar Stamboliyski Str., 8000 Bourgas, Bulgaria Tel: +359 56 820027, Fax: +359 56 836700 E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com Every time an observation event takes place, the Alarm Trigger’s State of the channel refreshes (if necessary). For example: Let’s suppose that the Alarm Trigger is in Idle state. Note, that an alarm is not triggered immediately when a parameter level passes over threshold (above High Threshold or under Low Threshold).
