Temperature ControlleriB6 / iB124.0 Alarms & Alarm Indication
4.1 Types of Alarms
The iB6 and iB12 Temperature Controllers support high and low deviation alarms, configurable
separately for each zone (see subsection 5.6). The unit also recognises process problems (such as
loop break, reversed and open sensors, and process temperature exceeding configured safety limit)
and problems with its own operation.
4.2 Alarm Indication
When a zone is in alarm:
• its red alarm LED flashes rapidly (Slow flashes mean an alarm was detected, but the problem
does not affect operation now. For example, a zones red alarm LED flashes slowly if an open
thermocouple is detected, but the zone is operating in Manual mode (in which no sensor value is
used by the controller to calculate the output)
• the alarm relay closes
• a code for the type of alarm alternates with display of the setpoint (Normal mode or other closed-
loop mode such as closed-loop boost) or output percentage (Manual mode or other open-loop
mode such as open-loop standby); and
• unit beeps until the alarm condition is cleared or the zone is put in Idle mode or the alarm is
silenced (refer to Section 4.3 below).
4.3 Silencing Alarm Beep
You can temporarily silence the alarm beep by pressing the alarm silence button . Beeping will be
silenced for the configured number of seconds. (The default is 120 seconds.)
4.4 External Indication
An output on the back of the controller allows external devices (such as horns or lights) to be
connected to the controller for alarm annunciation. For more information about this feature, see the
diagrams shipped with the controller.
This alarm output is not affected when the alarm silence button on the front of the controller is
pressed.
