Anderson Manufacturing AV-9000 manual Quick Start Procedure, Input Value Configuration

3.10 QUICK START PROCEDURE

This procedure can be used for starting up the recorder at the very basic level of recording inputs or to quickly familiarize yourself with the basic configuration process. A large number of default parameters are utilized and the default conditions are assumed. Please refer to the balance of Section 4 for important details on how to get full use of the instruments capabilities.

To use this procedure you should have already jumper configured at least one input (see Section 2 - Installation and Wiring), or be willing to use the factory settings of Thermocouple, Wide Span and Upscale Break protection. The marker pen assembly should also be installed, see Section 2 for installation instructions.

Connect a sensor or input signal source to the primary input that matches the type of hardware configured on the input board. If the input is configured as a thermocouple, you can simply install a wire between the input connec- tions and the unit will indicate the temperature inside the instrument.

To perform Quick Start you will need to configure the Input Value, Recorder Pen, Chart, and Display.

Input Value Configuration

Step 1

From a power-up state, depress the SCROLL key until CONFIGURATION shows in the lower line display (the upper line display will show SELECT). With CONFIGURATION in the lower line display, use the DOWN key, then SCROLL key to select INPUTS. Press the DOWN ARROW key to display INPUT NUMBER. The INPUT NUM- BER must agree with the input to be displayed and recorded. Press the MOD key, use the UP/DOWN arrows to change the value, and the ENTER key to make the selection.

Step 2

Depress the SCROLL key twice to skip over IVx COPY/INITIALIZE. The display should show IVx DISPLAY TAG. If you wish to enter a Display Tag, use the MOD key and then the UP/DOWN arrows or MOD key again to enter the Character Selection, then select characters for the Tag.

Step 3

Depress the SCROLL key to advance to the display, IVx INPUT TYPE/RANGE. The default will be OFF-NO INPUT. Select MOD to change this and SCROLL to select an input type. Press ENTER to finalize the selection.

Step 4

The Prompts displayed, after the next depression of the SCROLL key will depend on which Input Type/Range was selected. If Thermocouple or RTD were selected, then the specific type of Thermocouple or RTD will need to be selected. Use the MOD key to change, then the SCROLL and ENTER keys as before. Degrees C or F can also be selected after the type of TC or RTD has been specified by pressing the LEFT ARROW or SCROLL key to choice, then press Enter. If mA, mV, or volt was selected go to step 5, otherwise go to Step 7.

Step 5

Press the SCROLL key to INPUT RANGE LOW (default = 0) and INPUT RANGE HIGH (default = 100). These two parameters specify the desired analog signal range (4-20mA, 0-100mV) that will be scaled to engineering units.

Step 6

If mA, mV, or VOLT was selected, the SCROLL key will display IVx V/mA CONVERSION next. LINEAR is the default condition. Select according to the type of signal conversion desired.

Step 7

The next display will show IVx DISPLAY UNITS. Select F, C or OTHER. If OTHER is selected, the SCROLL key will next bring up IVx OTHER UNITS on the display. Use the MOD key, then UP/DOWN arrows and ENTER to specify the Display Units.
