During activation of the actuator, the process is supposed to change towards the setpoint. If this change is not consistent or fast enough, atr144 will display the message”loop break alarm”. This message won’t be shown if parameter 62 or 78 are set to “L.B.A” - in this case the regulator generates an alarm, enables the corresponding output and displays the message selected in the parameter 72 (“alarm 1...
Dual Action (Heating-Cooling) ATR144 is suitable also for systems requiring a combined heating-cooling action. The command output has to be configured as PID for Heating (Par. 19 ac.t. 1 = Heat and P.b. 1 greater than 0), and one of the alarms (AL.
