The alarm parameters are found in the settings menu.

When the desired parameter is displayed the adj button can be pressed to input a new value. This is done using the hi and lo buttons.

On completion the ‘set’ button must be pressed to store the set values.

 

Note: The display will revert to normal after 30 seconds. If a change has been made but the ‘set’ button has not been pressed then the new value will not be stored.

 

 

 

 

Alarm Test

During normal operation pressing the ‘res’ button will provide a 3 second display, buzzer and LED test. This does not alter the alarm relay contacts.

 

Battery Back-up

The internal battery will provide a minimum of 2 hours battery backup following a power failure. This can be extended by connecting external batteries.

Please contact the manufacturer for details.
