Sensor break alarm
The function that alarm output will be ON when sensor is not connected or when sensor's disconnection is detected during temperature
controlling. You can check whether the sensor is connected with buzzer or other units using alarm output contact. It is selectable between
standard alarm [ SBaA], or alarm latch [ SBaB].
