Page 44 Inverted Gas Alarm Relays Vertex M alarm relays, by default, are normally open (de-energized) when no alarm condition exists. If this option is checked, the alarm relays will be normally closed (energized) when there is no alarm.
Page 45 Disabled Alarm Action - Gas Relays Disabled or Full (No Gas Events) This setting effects the operation when alarms are disabled using the Runtime Options screen. If “Full” is selected, Vertex M will not generate an alarm event for the affected point(s) and none of the associated actions such as relay actuation will occur.
Page 46 Vertex M 24-Point Continuous Monitor Internal Filter Life (in Days) Set the number of days the filters will last before they need to be replaced. When the target is reached, this setting will trigger a maintenance fault to replace filter.
Page 47 The system calculates and displays the TWA after each 8-hour TWA cycle. The default setting is 04:00 indicating that the Vertex M will run three successive TWA periods from 04:00 to 11:59, 12:00 to 19:59, 20:00 to 03:59. Remember, the Vertex M System uses a 24-hour clock.
Page 48 Note: Setting the Vertex M System to continuously log concentration data on a 3-analyzer system requires approximate- ly 15 megabytes of disk storage per day at the fastest logging rate of once every 5 seconds. Purge data often to avoid filling available disk space.
Page 49 Retention periods are selected as either days or weeks. Valid entries for the period are positive numbers from 1-99. Vertex M will not recalculate the values when the unit is changed. For example, if the purge period is 14 days and you change “days” to “weeks”, Vertex M will set the period to 14 weeks. Vertex M performs the record purge as the data acquisition computer clock passes midnight.

Maintenance and instrument faults are Vertex M System self-diagnostic messages. They alert you to operation abnormalities by displaying a message with a brief description. The Vertex M System also stores the faults in the event history list. Also included in this chapter are information events which are records of non-fault activities that may aid in troubleshooting.
