CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
After entering correct
Setup For Input Type
The display will briefly show 'IP TYPE' (for "Input type") after which the present input type for the selected channel will be displayed. Various inputs available are: J T/C, CR.AL T/C (Chromel Alumel, type K T/C), T T/C, E T/C, CURRENT, or VOLTAGE. If the unit has a noble metal thermocouple option, then only one T/C can be selected i.e. B T/C, R T/C, or S T/C. Use the ^v key to display the desired input type. Once the desired input type is displayed, push the SETUP key to enter that input type and go to Setup For Channel ON/OFF.
NOTE : If you have a millivolt input unit (instead of thermocouple), the various
types of inputs selectable are CURRENT, HI VOLT
Setup for Voltage or Current Input:
Setup For Channel ON/OFF
After selecting input type, the next parameter for configuration is Channel ON/OFF, which determines whether a channel is scanned or not. If for any reason a channel is not being used, it must be turned OFF. In this way the unit will not spend any time scanning it. This will also prevent the unit from displaying a 'HELP' message on a channel that has nothing hooked up to it. Use ^v key to select the desired setting. If a channel is OFF, the display will show 'CHx OFF' , and if the channel is ON the display will show 'CHx ON' (x=channel #).
Use ^v key to display the desired ON/OFF setting, and then push SETUP key to enter that setting and go on to setup Decimal Point Position.
Setup For Decimal Point Position
After turning a channel ON or OFF, the next parameter for configuration is setting the decimal point position. This is indicated by the display showing ' 9999' . ^v key moves the decimal point through all the possible positions. After '9.999', the display goes to '9999' which indicates a display with no decimal point. Use ^v key to move the decimal point to the desired position, and then push SETUP key to enter that setting and go to setup High Scale.
Setup For High Scale
After setting a channel's decimal point position, the next parameter to be set is Hi Scale. This parameter determines what number will be displayed when the transducer puts out its maximum signal. For example, suppose a pressure transducer produces a 0Vdc to 10Vdc signal which corresponds to 0psi to 150psi. Then you would want the display to show 150 when 10Vdc is measured. To do this, set the Hi Scale=150.
After pushing SETUP key, the display will briefly read 'HI SCLE' (for "High Scale"), and then show the current High Scale setting. The flashing digit is the active digit. Pushing ^v key and keeping it pushed, will increment the digit. Releasing ^v
