Alarm Function Question

Sunday, May 17th 2015, 5:55pm

I believe I am on the last module of the aquasuite/aquaero setup that is new to me... alarms.

How do the alarm configurations on the device tabs interact with the alarm configurations on the aquaero tab.
Do the device tab alarm configurations interact with the aquaero alarm actions tab?

Ah, answer to this question interests me as well. I've been using the aquaero alarms without problems, but could never fully understand individual device settings for alarms.

I have concluded that device alarms only pertain to themselves, and do not interact with aquaero, but maybe I am wrong.

Kind regards,
Boris.

Playing with the device alarms a bit, I found the following:

For the MPS Pressure/Level Sensor and the MPS Flow Sensor, forcing an alarm situation caused a red bar to come up on the device alarm page, but nothing else was noticed.
I assume, but could not test, selecting the Speed Signal / Output option at the top would disable the Tacho/RPM signal at the back of the aquaero, giving system shut down as the only action option.
The Actual Alarm Level remained at zero and there was no further interaction with the aquaero Alarm Actions tab.


For the MPS D5 Pumps, forcing an alarm situation caused a red bar to come up on the device alarm page, AND Actual Alarm Level was set to 2, with the aquaero reacting by executing the alarm level 2 setting (red LED & cyclic buzzer)
Again, I assume, but could not test, selecting the Speed Signal / Output option at the top would disable the Tacho/RPM signal at the back of the aquaero, giving system shut down as an additional option.


Just my observations.

This alarms are only affected to the device specific speed signal output.
When the MPS detecs an arror and the error is activated in the MPS settings, the MPS speed signal output go to 0.

When the MPS detects an error and the error is activated in the MPS settings, the MPS speed signal output go to 0.

I understand... a device alarm condition for the D5 MPS pumps sets the TACHO port to zero, and for the Pressure/Level & Flow sensors it sets the Alarm port to zero, when the speed signal option is selected in the top section, but does not effect the aquaero RPM port.

What is the effect if the Switched output option is selected in the top section?

When the pump speed signal is lost a alarm is triggered.
