8.2.9Damping Constant

The damping constant is set to average out the output fluctuations. (The larger the damping constant, the more the output is averaged and the fluctuations can be reduced but the response becomes slower.)

The damping constant can be set from 0.0sec, 0.5sec, and 1 to 60sec (1sec each).

(If detector is partially filled pipes type, the damping constant can be set from 0.0sec, 5sec, and 10 to 600sec (1sec each).)

Note: If 0.0 sec is set, the damping constant becomes a value equivalent to 0.1 sec. If you set a value exceeding 60s, it is forcibly changed to 60s before data is written.

Checking the damping constant

Proceed as follows to check the damping constant.

Switch operation	Display example	Description

	D1: DAMPING	Select D1: DAMPING from the setting item selection menu.
	02.0 s	The currently set damping constant appears.
