| | alarme à palier | Explanation:
I'm pretty sure about the meaning of the source text: it refers to a band in the sense of a range of values; many alarms work once a certain threshold is reached, for example, above a certain temperature, or below a certain liquid level.
But a band alarm is triggered when some value comes within a certain band of values — for example, temperature between 20 and 40C; or of course, it may operate if the value goes outside a certain band of values.
In other words, it is an alarm that has 2 thresholds instead of just one.
I'm less sure, of course, just how to render that best in FR, but 'palier' is a term that has cropped up quite often in FR > EN, and I think it might be what is needed here.

Note to future users of the Glossary:
Although there is a certain logic to the suggested term, I am anxious to point out that it is purely my invention, and the absence of even a single Google result for this term does rather suggest that it cannot be the 'standard' term used in FR.

Here is a site that refers to an 'alarme de bande'; however, as it is an already-translated UK site, it would be prudent to check the overall translation quality before assuming this is authoritative!

"alarme de bande" does get a fewhundred Google hits — but an alarming number of those seem to be in connection with foreign sites or manufacturers, so I'm still unsure if this is the correct FR term, or just a common translation! |
