3.7Measuring an Input

The DBC series has a dual display. By selecting a measurement (input) option from

the menu using the keys and pressing ent, the working screen shows a dual display with the dry well temperature (at the bottom) and the selected input (at the top).

Note:

Leaving the MEASURE section of the Menu Selection Screen to NONE, the final working screen shows only the dry well temperature (with internal or external reference).

To show the dry well temperature and a thermocouple input (DBC-TC only):

•Select from the menu screen REF .T and then INTERNAL.

•Using the keys, select from the menu screen MEASURE and then T/C.

•Press the ent key, to confirm and set the display.
