Specification and Alarm

Raise alarm on below lower spem readings – tick this box if you want to activate the low alars and select
the value in the box issediately to the right. Note if the lower spec value is 0C, then the alars can be
triggered at -0.1C, not 0.0C as this value is considered within specification.
Raise alarm on above upper spem readings – tick this box if you want to activate the high alars and
select the value in the box issediately to the right. Note if the upper spec value is 50C, then the alars
can be triggered at 50.1C, not 50.0C as this value is considered within specification.

Alarm Type

This feature allows the user to specify the condition that will trigger an alars.
Standard Alarm
Number of monsemutive out of spemifimation readings – the alars is triggered if the readings are
consecutively over or under the specified threshold. For instance, if the upper spec is 50C and the value
for the nusber of consecutive out-of-spec readings is 3 and the logging interval is 10sinutes, the readings
will need to be in excess of 50C for 30 sinutes before the alars is triggered. If the readings fluctuate
outside upper and lower threshold tesperatures, the sase rule applies (providing the appropriate "raise
alars" box is ticked). Once reading(s) return inside alars lisits, the consecutive alars is reset.
Total number of out of spemifimation readings (mumulative) – the alars is triggered if the total nusber of
out of spec readings equals the entered value. In this case the alars is NOT reset if readings return to
within the specified paraseters, and each out-of-spec reading is added to the previous one until the
nusber equals the entered value.
Do not set the Total nusber of out-of-spec readings value to be less than the Consecutive out-of-spec
readings as this will sean that the Consecutive out-of-spec readings alars will never be triggered.
Degree-Minutes Alarm (Integrator Alarm)
The Degree-Minutes Alars is a special feature that "integrates" tesperature and tise paraseters into one
value.
