D08 Total Alarm
Definition
Set the flow meter’s alarm mode for totalizer values exceeding the set range. Default: Off. The alarm code belongs to Alarm – B. (D08 , D9 , and D10 work together to enable totalizer target alarm functionality.)
D08, D09, D10 Total Alarm Examples
Example 1: Forward Flow
Enable D08 Total Alarm.
Set D09 Total Trig. to “Greater Than”.
Set D10 Total Target to a positive value, e.g., +100.
When the cumulative forward flow exceeds 100,
the system triggers the total alarm.
Example 2: Reverse Flow
Enable D08 Total Alarm.
Set D09 Total Trig. to “Less Than”.
Set D10 Total Target to a negative value, e.g., -500.
When the cumulative reverse flow drops below -500,
the system triggers the total alarm.Notes
DND Mode
When Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is enabled:
The flow meter detects abnormal conditions but the red backlight will not turn on. Example: Alarm-A “Paddle wheel abnormality” will not trigger the backlight in DND mode.
Abnormal conditions are still displayed on the Status/Alarm page.
If connected via RS485, the monitoring system still receives the alarm signal.
OCT alarm outputs continue to operate if configured.
Operation Procedure
Button Functions (Click to Expand)
The main unit has four buttons. The bottom line (Line 3) of the LCD displays the current function of each button. Under normal operation, the button functions are as follows:
Blue Button: Leftmost button: Return, exit, or save settings.
Gray Direction Buttons:
Left Gray: Previous Page, decrease value, or select item
Right Gray: Next Page, increase value, or select item
Orange Button: Rightmost button: Enter settings, edit, or confirm selection
Do not hold buttons for extended periods to avoid damage.
Button functions may change depending on the operation context to improve usability or prevent accidental presses
Totalized Flow Alarm Function (Click to Expand)
This function triggers an alarm when the totalized flow reaches a value greater than or less than the preset target.
Related parameters: D08 Total Alarm, D09 Total Trigger Condition (Total Trig.), and D10 Total Target.
Totalizer Alarm Operation
When the totalizer alarm is enabled and the accumulated flow meets the trigger condition, the system triggers Alarm B. The alarm bits (Bit6, Bit7) are set to 1, indicating that the alarm is active.
The alarm behavior follows the mode set in D08:
ON: The receiving system receives the alarm signal, and the meter displays a red backlight alarm.
Do Not Disturb (DND): The receiving system still receives the alarm signal, but the meter does not display a red backlight alarm.
