Introduction
1.8Typical Sequence
Figure 4 shows a typical sequence of how the Liebert AC4 functions after detecting a change in a monitored device. Many responses depend on configuration settings. This example shows what happens when a digital input changes state—assuming the input is defined as alarmable—and when the condition returns to normal.
