• 'Ⱶo 1U' is the alarm condition value for the parameter. Enter the value for when the parameter should go into alarm mode.
• 'Ⱶo 1t' is the time delay for how long the alarm condition must persist for before the alarm is triggered. The range for the time delay is from 0 to 255 sec.
• 'Ⱶo 1S' is the inequality sign setting. This is to set the alarm condition. Select '0' for less than (<) or '1' for greater than (>)
• 'Ⱶo 1o' is the RO output mode when in alarm. Select '0' to for the RO channel to work in 'Latch' mode when the alarm is triggered, or '1' to have the RO channel work in 'Momentary' mode when the alarm is triggered.
• 'Ⱶo 2P' is the alarm output parameter setting for triggering RO channel 2. It is the same as RO1 above when it is configured for Alarm mode.
• 'Ⱶo 2U' is the alarm condition value for the parameter. It is the same RO1 above.
• 'Ⱶo 2t' is the time delay for how long the alarm condition must persist for before the alarm is triggered. It is the same as RO1 above.
