Configure snooze
In the event of an alarm, the "snooze" button stops the instrument buzzer and returns all the relays in the
instrument to their normal state during a "snooze time".
Enter the snooze time in seconds and press OK.

9.2 View inputs/outputs

View inputs/outputs
This view option displays the state of the 3 alarm relays (on or off), and the analog output current value
for each.

9.3 Relays

Relays
There are three measurement alarm relays and one system alarm relay for the instrument. These relays
are configurable as either standard or custom events through the instrument menu.
•
•
•
All the relays are activated as soon as the instrument is ON (but alarms are OFF). When the instrument
is OFF, the relays are deactivated, thus in this state, all alarms are ON. The logic "Relay deactivated =
Alarm ON" has been chosen for this safety reason.
When the main board does not communicate with the measurement board for more than 30 seconds, the
measurement board switches all the alarm relays and the analog output to the alarm state.

The three relays can be triggered by several standard events, or a
combination of events (custom). The relays output can be used to turn on a
beacon, horn or PLC. Refer to
Note: Relays can be set to Normally Open [NO] or Normally Closed [NC] by
changing the jumper positions on the measurement board. Refer to

Proceed in the same manner for other events that should trigger the relay.
The three measurement alarm relays can be manually activated for testing
purposes:
•
See note regarding the relays below. "Not under test" means the relay is in
operating mode, and it will be triggered normally.
Note: A relay set to NO will close when activated (On), but a relay set to NC
will open. Refer to
Similarly, the system alarm relay can be manually activated for testing
purpose.
