Setting the audio alarm Volume of the headphones or active speaker
--- No sound
Proportional: The frequency of the audible signal is proportional to the bar graph
display or diagram height. The frequency range is 300 Hz to 3300 Hz.
Setpoint: The pitch is proportional to the leak rate. The signal sounds if the leak rate
exceeds the selected trigger value.

INFICON Operation CU1000 | 6
CU1000-operating-instructions-jina54en1-06-(1901) 19 / 36
Pinpoint: The sound of the acoustic signal changes its frequency within a specific
range of leak rates. Range: A decade below the selected trigger threshold up to one
decade above. The sound keeps at a constant low and a constant high frequency
below and above this range, respectively.
Trigger: If the selected trigger threshold is exceeded, a two-pitch signal sounds.
Control unit Settings > Set up > Control unit > Audio > Audio alarm mode
Behavior with warnings or error messages: If the touch screen shows a warning or an
error, then a two-pitch signal sounds simultaneously.

operation to save energy.

6.3.2 Operator types and authorizations
There are four different operator types that are distinguished by different
authorizations. The integrator is registered ex works.
Additional operators can be registered. The following table shows options for
individual operator types to register new operator types.

For the types "Integrator", "Supervisor" and "Operator", a four-digit PIN must be
assigned during registration (0000 ... 9999). "0000" is assigned to all operators ex
works.
If an operator keeps the pin "0000", this operator will always be registered is during
the start up of the system (without PIN query).
A key-operated switch can be used in addition to a PIN if an I/O module is connected.
The key-operated switch is connected to the I/O module via three digital inputs (see
operating instructions of the LDS3000).
The following table shows the authorizations of individual operator types.
