Select ON or OFF to enable or disable high limit checking.

Select ON or OFF to enable or disable low limit checking.

If FAIL HOLD is ON, both the screen FAIL indicator and the BNC output are held in the fail state whenever the limits specified for the channel have been exceeded, regardless of whether the reading subsequently goes into pass or not. This state remains until FAIL HOLD is turned OFF.

BEEP

If BEEP is ON, and FAIL HOLD is OFF, whenever the limits speci-

[FBEEP]

fied for the channel have been exceeded, a single beep sounds.

 

If fail BEEP is ON and FAIL HOLD is ON, whenever the limits

 

specified for the channel have been exceeded, a beep will sound

 

once every second until FAIL HOLD is turned OFF, or the CLEAR

 

key (CLR) is pressed.

 

The FAIL indication is not affected by the CLEAR key, and can only

 

be cleared by turning FAIL HOLD off. If a limit fail happens again,

 

the alarm will sound again.
