Display Alarms
The Display Alarm feature provides two independently configurable
alarms for transmitters with the display/keypad option. Each alarm tracks
a selected quantity, with a freely configurable low and high limit. Each
alarm also has a configurable hysteresis value to prevent unnecessary
triggering when the measurement fluctuates around an alarm limit. The
alarms can be configured for any quantity supported by the transmitter.
The configuration of the Display Alarms can only be done using the
display/keypad option.
An alarm is activated when the selected quantity goes higher than the
high limit, or lower than the low limit, much in the same way as the
relays. When an alarm is activated, an alarm note is displayed on the
display, and the lights of the display will blink.

Figure 51 Display Alarm Active
Multiple alarms can be active at the same time; the alarm that was
triggered first will be shown on the display. The next active alarm is
revealed when the currently shown alarm is acknowledged by pressing
the OK button.
Note that activated alarms are only shown on the screen. There are no
alarm messages output to the serial line, or markers placed in the graph
data. After an alarm has been acknowledged, you must refer to the data
graphs to see when the measured quantities have exceeded the limits.
Configuring a Display Alarm
1. Enter the Main Menu by pressing an arrow key on the keypad.
2. Use the arrow keys to select Display, followed by Alarms, to open
the Display Alarms menu. The Display Alarms menu shows the
currently enabled and disabled alarms.
