Audio Alarm On/Off:

This unit supports an audio alarm which comes on when ever a limit value is exceeded. This alarm can be turned On or Off, as desired. The selection is made by pushing ^v key. If the alarm is ON, the display will read ‘ALR ON’ (Alarm On). Alternately, it will display ‘ALR OFF’ (for ‘Alarm Off’). Push SETUP key after desired setting is displayed. This last push on SETUP key will also take you back to the very beginning of setup mode.

PROGRAM SYSTEM:

Display option:

This is the very first step in programming the system and in this step, display option is selected. One of the following options can be selected:

1)

Display process variable

(PROCESS)

5)

Display High Peak

(HIGH PT)

2)

Display set-point deviation

(SP DEN)

6)

Display Low Peak

(LO PT)

3)

Display rate

(RATE)

7)

Elapsed time indication

(ELPSD T)

4)

Display process change

(PR CNG)

8)

Scan all parameters

(SCAN)

To make a selection push ^v key. The display will indicate the selected option as indicated in parenthesis against each option. Once the desired display mode has been selected, push the SETUP key.

Flash Time:

Flash time is the time inbetween the message which indicates the active display parameter and its value e.g. if the selected display option in the above step was ‘PROCESS’, then the display will periodically display the message ‘PROCESS’ to indicate that the displayed value is process variable. Flash time is in seconds. Thus if the programmed flash time is 20, then process value will be displayed for 20 seconds before the message ‘PROCESS’ will be displayed. Use ^v and <NXT> keys to get the desired time. On finishing, push SETUP key.

Engineering Units:

This step lets you program three alphabet long engineering units e.g. PSI, YDS, FT etc. On entering this mode, the active alphabet will be flashing. To change it, push ^v key and keep it pushed till the desired alphabet shows up. Toggle the ^v key to go up or down in the alphabets. Use <NXT> key to move to the other alphabets and then use ^v key to change them. Programmable alphabets are:

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H, I,J,L,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,Y

After obtaining the desired units, push SETUP key and this will take you to setting up the next parameter.

Setpoint:

Setpoint entry mode is indicated by the message 'SETPT' followed by the display of current setpoint value e.g. 20.00. To enter new setpoint use <NXT> key in conjunction with ^v key. Once done entering new value, or to retain the previous value, push the SETUP key.
