What it represents
Provides an electrical alarm output for a documented monitored condition.
In a drafting package, connect this reference to the initiating condition and alarm supply. The associated drawing should trace the annunciator, SCADA input or common alarm relay; the number identifies the role and does not specify the terminal arrangement, ratings or operating settings.
How to read it
- Identify the initiating condition and alarm supply.
- Trace the annunciator, SCADA input or common alarm relay.
Information to show or reference
- Label the initiating condition and alarm supply.
- Cross-reference the annunciator, SCADA input or common alarm relay.
- Identify the device tag, manual revision and logic drawing that define this implementation.
A distinction that matters
An alarm relay does not necessarily trip equipment; trace the outputs before assigning a protection action.
