Enter the high span value for the channel. This is the actual current in microAmps to be scaled to
the high engineering units value.

Span values are 16 unsigned integers ranging from 0 to 25,000. After entering the low span value
for the input, press the F4 (enter) key. Enter a high span va lu e for the same input.

Alarm Limits
The next screen is used t o se t the low alarm limit for the cha n n el in engineering units.

Each input channel can have a low alarm limit and a high alarm limit. Alarm limits can be set
anywhere over the dynamic range of the signal. The range for each is -32,768 to +32,767. The high
alarm limit must be greater than the low alarm limit. If alarm reporting is not wanted, alarm limits
can be set beyond the dynamic range of the signal so they will never be activated.
After entering the Low Al ar m Limit, press the F4 (ent er ) key. Then enter the High Al ar m Li mit for
the channel.

That completes the configuration steps for one input channel on the 16-Point Grouped Analog
Input module. Continue as described above to configure the rest of the inputs.
