8.5.3 Scan Hold
In addition to controlling the hold temperature display,a switch can also con-
trolset-point scanning by enabling the scan hold function. When the switch
changes from its normal position to its activep osition scanning will stop. For
the scan holdto be effective scanning must be enabled and the scan rate should
be set to a relativelylow value (see sections 8.4.1 and 8.4.2).
The scan holdis set in the primary menu after the temperature hold mode
setting.
SHoLd=OF Scan hold set to off
Tochange the mode press “UP” or “DOWN”.
SHoLd=On Scan hold set to on
Press “SET” to accept the displayed setting.
8.5.4 Switch Wiring
The thermal switch or cut-out is wired to the calibrator at the two terminals at
the back of the dry-well calibrator labeled “DISPLAYHOLD”. The switch
wires may be connected to the terminals either way.Internally the black termi-
nal connectsto ground. The red terminal connects to +5V through a 10 kΩre-
sistor.The calibrator measures the voltage at the red terminal and interprets
+5V as open and 0V as closed.
8.5.5 Switch TestExample
This section describes a possible application for the temperature hold feature
and howthe instrument is set up and operated.
Suppose you havea thermal switch which is supposed to open at about 75°C
and close atabout 50°C and you want to test the switch to see how accurate and
repeatableit is. You can use the temperature hold feature and the ramp and
