FLOALARM is especially conceived to monitor alarm conditions in compressed gas storages and supply pipelines. Two types are available: K4 with four alarm inputs and K8 with eight alarm inputs. All alarm inputs are compatible with popular switch sensors and inductive proximity sensors type Namur.
SET-UP ! – For safety reasons, the installing operations must be ARNING performed in accordance with the instructions of this manual, by qualified operators only; disconnect power supply line from the equipment before opening the housing. The manufacturer rejects whichever responsibility for accidents or damages due to negligence of these recommendations.
PROGRAMMING Programming parameters can be set or modified by the pushbuttons on the front panel. You can set operation and delay of each alarm input, besides buzzer and relay output operation. Tables below show the alarm condition related to the input operation and delay for both sensor types and supply some suggestions about remaining setting.
