    MULTIPOINT CIRCULAR-CHART RECORDER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Safety Notes 1. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth ground terminal shall be connected to a protective con- ductor. The supply voltage (mains) wiring must be terminated in such a way that, should it slip in the cable clamp, the Earth ground wire would be the last wire to become disconnected.

    MULTIPOINT CIRCULAR-CHART RECORDER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 4.5.2 Alarm configuration Up to four alarms can be configured for each channel. For absolute and deviation alarms, a hysteresis value can be entered to prevent spurious triggering should the process value 'hover' around the alarm threshold. For all types of alarm, a dwell (or waiting) period can be configured, and if the alarm clears within this period, the alarm is ignored.
