Decimal Point Position

 

w

Sets the maximum display resolution to 0; 1; 2 or 3 decimal places.

 

 

 

 

 

Temperature inputs are limited to 0 or 1 place. Numbers >99.999

 

 

 

 

 

never display more than 2 dec places, >999.99 never display more

 

 

 

 

 

than 1 dec place and >99999 always display without a decimal place.

 

 

Multi-Point Scaling

 

Enables or disables Linear Input Multi-Point Scaling. This feature

 

 

Enable

 

allows up to 15 point linearization of mA or V DC input signals.

 

 

Scale Range Lower

w

For Temperature inputs, Upper & Lower Limits set the usable span.

 

 

Limit

 

Min span = 100 units, max span = range limits - see specs. For

 

 

 

 

 

Linear inputs, Upper & Lower Limits define the values shown (-1999

 

 

Multi-Point Scale

 

 

 

to 9999) when input is at minimum and maximum values. Min span =

 

 

Point(s)

 

 

 

 

100 units. If Multi-Point Scaling is enabled, up to 15 breakpoints* can

 

 

 

 

w

 

 

Scale Range Upper

 

 

 

 

scale input vs. displayed value between the linear input scale limits.

 

 

Limit

 

 

*A breakpoint set at 100% input ends the sequence.

 

 

CJC Enable/Disable

 

 

Enables/disables internal Thermocouple Cold Junction

 

 

 

 

 

Compensation. If disabled, external compensation will be required for

 

 

 

 

 

thermocouples. The default value is Enabled.

 

 

Process Variable Offset

 

 

Trims the measured process value. +Ve values add to, –Ve values

 

 

 

 

 

subtract from measured input. Caution: A value other than zero

 

 

 

 

 

alters the apparent calibration of the instrument. Use with care!

 

 

Input Filter Time

 

 

Removes unwanted signal noise. Adjustable from 0.0 (OFF) to 100.0

 

 

 

 

 

seconds or OFF (default = 2s). Caution: Too large a value will cause

 

 

 

 

 

slow response to changes in the process. Use with care!

 

 

Auxiliary Input n Type

 

w

Sets the type of signal to be connected to the auxiliary inputs (if

 

 

 

 

 

fitted). From: 0-10V; 2-10V; 0-5V; 1-5V, 0-20mA or 4-20mA DC.

 

 

 

 

 

Auxiliary input B also supports >2KΩ Potentiometer and 0-100mV.

 

 

Auxiliary Input n Scaling

w

Scales the displayed a value (-9999 to 10000) when an auxiliary

 

 

Lower Limit

 

input is at or below it’s lower limit (e.g. 4mA for a 4-20mA signal).

 

 

Auxiliary Input n Scaling

w

Scales the displayed a value (-9999 to 10000) when an auxiliary

 

 

Upper Limit

 

input is at or above it’s lower limit (e.g. 20mA for a 4-20mA signal).

 

 

Auxiliary Input n Offset

 

 

Trims the displayed a value for auxiliary input A or B. +Ve values are

 

 

 

 

 

added to, –Ve values subtracted from the measured auxiliary input.

 

 

Calibration Reminder

 

 

Enables or disables the display of Calibration Reminder at start-up

 

 

Enable/Disable

 

 

(repeated daily thereafter), if the due date has passed – Available on

 

 

 

 

 

the Recorder version only

 

 

Calibration Reminder

 

Sets the due date for the Calibration Reminder - Available on the

 

 

Due Date

 

Recorder version only
