Bacharach FT-10 instruction

Network input variable nviSetZoneThresh allows Leak, Spill, and Evacuate alarm thresholds (in PPM) to be set for each monitoring zone. nviSetZoneThresh has four parameters to be set by the user:

Zone Specifier:

a number 1-16 specifies which zone is having its thresholds changed

Leak Alarm Threshold:

a number 0–65535 PPM

Spill Alarm Threshold:

anumber 0-65535 PPM (larger than Leak Threshold) Evacuate Alarm Threshold:

a number 0-65535 PPM (larger than Spill Threshold)

Network input variable nviGetZoneThresh accepts a single number 1-16 to specify which zone’s alarm thresholds should be displayed on network output variable nvoHgmZoneThresh.

Network output variable nvoHgmAlarmAlert reports whenever ANY gas concentration alarm (Leak, Spill, or Evacuate) is generated by the HGM. It is of type SNVT_switch. It is useful for binding to an Alarm lamp on a remote annunciation panel using a network input variable of type SNVT_switch. When there are no alarms, nvoAlarmAlert will have value=0, state=0. When there is any alarm, nvoAlarmAlert will have value=200, state=1. Depending on presentation software, the full-scale “value” may show as either “200” or “100.0”.

Network output variable nvoHgmLeakAlert reports whenever any Leak alarm is generated by the HGM. It is of type SNVT_switch. It is useful for binding to a Leak Alarm lamp on a remote annunciation panel using a network input variable of type SNVT_switch. When there are no Leak alarms, nvoLeakAlert will have value=0, state=0. When there are any Leak alarms, nvoLeakAlert will have value=200, state=1.

Network output variable nvoHgmSpillAlert reports whenever any Spill alarm is generated by the HGM. It is of type SNVT_switch. It is useful for binding to a Spill Alarm lamp on a remote annunciation panel using a network input variable of type SNVT_switch. When there are no Spill alarms, nvoSpillAlert will have value=0, state=0. When there are any Spill alarms, nvoSpillAlert will have value=200, state=1.

Network output variable nvoHgmEvacAlert reports whenever any Evacuate alarm is generated by the HGM. It is of type SNVT_switch. It is useful for binding to an Evacuate Alarm lamp on a remote annunciation panel using a network input variable of type SNVT_switch. When there are no Evacuate alarms, nvoEvacAlert will have value=0, state=0. When there are any Evacuate alarms, nvoEvacAlert will have value=200, state=1.
