WAFs Are Not Mutually Exclusive

The WAF menu contains many functions that can trigger a warning, alarm, or fault—but
the categories are not mutually exclusive. This means that for each function shown in
the four pages of this menu, the detector can provide any of the following.
• A warning only.
• An alarm only.
• A fault only.
• A warning and an alarm.
• A warning and a fault.
• A fault and an alarm.
• A warning and an alarm and a fault.
• None of the above. (No icon is shown next to the function in the menu screen.)

Setting a WAF for a Particular Function

In this example, you are going to tell the detector to give you an alarm, when the reject
bin is full. (Currently the detector gives you a fault.) We are assuming you have already
hardwired a small red lamp (or other error-notification device of your choice) to the
default alarm output—Output 5—on the detector's output-wiring board.
1) Make sure the WAF menu is highlighted.
