8.5 Alarm / Clean
(PATH: Menu / Configure / Alarm / Clean)
Enter configuration mode as described in Section 8.1.
This Menu allows the configuration of Alarm and Clean functionality.
8.5.1 Alarm
To select ”Setup Alarm”, press the or key so that ”Alarm” is flashing.
Using the and buttons, navigate to ”Use Relay #”. Using the or keys, select a relay
to be used for the Alarm and press [ENTER].
One of the following events may be alarmed:
1. Power Failure
2. Software Failure
3. Rg Diagnostics – pH glass membrane resistance (only for pH sensors)
4. Rr Diagnostics – pH reference resistance (only for pH sensors)
5. Cond cell open (only for cond sensors)
6. Cond cell shorted (only for cond sensors)
7. Channel B disconnected (only for ISM sensors)
8. Shaft Error (only for optical Sensors)
9. Signal Error (only for optical Sensors)
10. Hardware Error (only for optical Sensors)
Detailed information about error messages for an optical sensor you find in the
Menu/Service/Diagnostics/O

optical.
If any of these are set to Yes, an alarm signal will be initiated, the selected relay will be
activated, and an alarm message will be recorded if:
1. there is a power failure or power cycling
2. the software watchdog performs a reset
3. Rg is out of tolerance – for example, broken measuring electrode (only for pH sensors)
4. Rr is out of tolerance – for example, coated or depleted reference electrode (only for pH
sensors)
5. If the conductivity sensor is on air (for example in an empty pipe)
6. If the conductivity sensor has a short cut
7. If no sensor is connected on channel B (only for ISM sensors)
For 1 and 2 the alarm indicator will be turned off when the alarm message is cleared. It will
reappear if the power is constantly cycling or if the watchdog is repeatedly resetting the system.
Only for pH sensors
For 3 and 4 the alarm indicator will go off if the message is cleared and the sensor has been
replaced or repaired so that the Rg and Rr values are within specification. If the Rg or Rr
message is cleared and Rg or Rr is still out of tolerance then the alarm will stay on and the
message will reappear. The Rg and Rr alarm can be turned off by going into this menu and
setting Rg Diagnostics and / or Rr Diagnostics to No. The message can then be cleared and
the alarm indicator will be off even though Rg or Rr is out of tolerance.
