to the PLC configuration without changing the relay
assignments.
Shift
Alarm relay definitions move down to fill the space
created by fewer fault relays or move up to accommodate
the additional fault relays.
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 16 will
cause the alarm relay assignments to move two relays
up. Card 5, relay 2 definition moves to card 5, relay 4;
card 5, relay 3 moves to card 5 relay 5; card 5 relay 15
moves to card 6, relay 1, etc.
Changing the number of fault relays from 16 to 14
moves relay assignment down by 2 positions. Card
5, relay 4 definition moves to card 5, relay 2; card 5,
relay 5 moves to card 5 relay 3; card 6, relay 1 moves
to card 5, relay 15, etc.
Pad
Padding leaves most alarm relay definitions unchanged.
Some existing alarm definitions may be overwritten or
undefined relays may become available.
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 16 will
cause the alarm definitions on card 3, relay 14 and
card 3, relay 15 to be overwritten by the fault relay
assignments.
Section 3 - Startup
Changing the number of fault relays from 14 to 12 will
result in two additional (and undefined) alarm relays
being available at card 3 relays 12 and 13. Existing
relay definitions are not moved.

3.6.7 Set Alarm Relays

A relay configured for a Level 1 trigger will activate for
both Level 1 and Level 2 alarms. A Level 2 trigger will
only activate for Level 2 alarms.
None of the relays are defined as general or point
specific alarms until they are programmed or associated
with one or more points in an analyzer.
Note:
Set the number of fault relays before setting alarm
relay definitions. If you change the number of fault re-
lays, the current alarm relay definitions may change
and must be redefined. See
PLC.
Defining a point for association with a relay is a four-
step process:
1. Choose the relays to which you want to
associate with a point.
2. Choose L1 Alarm or L2 in the Change To...
area.
3. Click the square representing the point or
points to associate with the relay. The point
changes color to indicate the change.
4. Choose Accept make the change the change
to the configuration profile. Choosing cancel
leaves the alarm definition unchanged.
Repeat the steps for all contacts.
To verify a contacts association to analyzer points,
choose the contact. The associated point display
changes color.
