SECTION 4: OPERATION [2] Monitoring is enabled when the remote signal is ON [S Rte Sgl On] The ON state of the remote signal (the external contact closes) permits scheduled monitoring after the monitoring interval [S Intvl]. Example 2-1: Inputting service signals of the water softener or other filtration equipment When remote signals are input from a water softener...
SECTION 4: OPERATION 2.1.3 Delay Time of Remote Signals The purpose of remote signal delay time [S DelayTime]: The setting determines the number of seconds the monitoring is to be delayed after receiving the remote signal. It is not commonly used function, however it is effective to prevent an evaluation error in the example case shown below.
SECTION 4: OPERATION 2.2 Colormetry Monitoring Timing 2.2.1 Automatic Monitoring The interval between monitoring is set in the monitor interval [S Intvl] setting at the setting mode [Set Mode] (The interval is selectable in 30minutes increments between the 30 to 240 minutes range).
Page 39
SECTION 4: OPERATION b. If the remote signal setting is for “monitoring is enabled by remote signal being turned ON” [S Rte Sgl On]: (Example of remote signal: Service signal from the water softener • When the preset time of the monitor interval [S Intvl] has passed, if the remote signal is ON, the remote signal delay time S Rte Sgl dl[] will start.
SECTION 4: OPERATION [3] With monitor start time [S Start] and stop time [S Stop] are set up a. When the preset time of the monitor interval [S Intvl] has passed, but not monitor start time [S Start] yet, the Colormetry keeps in standby until the monitor start time. When the monitor start time came, the preset remote signal delay time will start and monitoring will start soon after the remote signal delay time is finished.
SECTION 4: OPERATION 2.3 Concentration Evaluation The Colormetry evaluates ionic concentrations in 5 levels: 0 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 2 mg/L, 3 mg/L, and 5 mg/L. Alarm set point may be set to trigger at 1 mg/L and up, 2 mg/L and up, 3 mg/L and up, and 5 mg/L and up.
SECTION 4: OPERATION 2.3.2 Concentration Anomaly [1] If an evaluation result is the alarm set point [S AlarmSet] and up, monitoring is repeated the number of times as set (between 1 to 3) in the concentration alarm retry [S Alarm Inc No] setting.
Page 43
SECTION 4: OPERATION [3] If a concentration anomaly occurs repeatedly in a series of automatic monitoring at the monitor interval [S Intvl], or in manual monitoring, the concentration anomaly alarm will stay on continuously. [4] The concentration anomaly alarm is automatically terminated (the buzzer stops and the remote alarm output contact opens) upon that the condition is determined normal in automatic monitoring at the monitor interval [S Intvl], or in manual monitoring.
