A Low-Low Alarm will generate an alarm condition when the value of the tag is below the Low-Low Alarm Limit. The tag will remain in Low-Low alarm until it is acknowledged and the tag’s value rises above the alarm limit plus deadband.
The Alarm Limit is set during configuration of the tag, but can be changed in run-time VIEW while on-line from the point detail display if the user has access to the Security Level 127 configured for Tag Fields. The alarm Limit can also be changed by appending the .ALMLL to the tagname in the Point Info Dialog Box (point Browser).
The relevant fields to consider when configuring a Low-Low Alarm are the Low Low Alarm Priority, Low Low Alarm Limit, the Deadband, and the Span High and Span Low of the Tag.
To configure a Low-Low Alarm see 7.4Alarm Configuration.

2. Enter a numeric value for the LL Alarm Limit. The alarm limit is in engineering Units.
If you are using the Low alarm also, then the Low-Low Alarm Limit must be less than the Low Alarm Limit.
