Custom Alarms in Tracker BMTK

Resolution:

 

Custom Alarm set-up in Tracker BMTK:

In the Tracker software, from the Setup menu, choose Custom Alarming. It is possible to set up the alarm based on an analog or binary value, such as CO2 level or Space Temperature: Active, from a ZN517. See Figure 1 for some examples. It is possible to set alarm severity, delay before alarm, high and low limits, and state of the input you want to cause the alarm. See Figure 2. Up to 48 custom alarms can be created in this way. Once a custom alarm is created it can be routed as global alarm to workstations running the Tracker PC software, to e-mail, or to a pager. Custom alarms will be displayed in the Workstation Alarm Log and will be displayed on the operator display under Alarms.
