Viewing Serial Number Mode; Setup State - Teledyne 8800A Operating Instructions Manual

sequence of computations is as follows:
• The capacitance is converted to percent of full scale (-100°C to +20°C dp), using the low dB,
low dew, and saturated dB when performing SpanCheck values.
• Cal Adj is applied to correct the mid point of the curve.
• If enabled, the multi-point calibration table is applied to further correct the transfer function.
• If enabled, the single point calibration is applied to fine tune the transfer function.
• The corrected percent of full scale is converted to dewpoint.

3.4.4.4 Viewing Serial Number Mode

In this mode the user can view the instrument serial number. The display shows the serial number
by alternately displaying XSN and the number. If the number is larger than 1999 then it is dis-
played in 2 parts, first part is the thousands signified by the x10
of the display and the second part is the units. For example serial number 12345 will be shown as:
Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously resets the instrument, this is useful in instal-
lations where power can not be turned on and off easily. Pressing the Pressure Correct button will
cause the instrument to enter the setup state.
Pressing the MODE button, returns the unit to the Viewing Dewpoint Mode.

3.4.5 SetUp State

To enter the Setup State power-up the unit (or reset it from the serial number Mode), and hold the
MODE key pressed while the unit is initializing. Refer to Appendix B for a flow diagram of the
SetUp State.
The setup state provides eleven capabilities, each one controlled from its own mode. Depressing
the MODE button navigates through the modes in the following order: !Select Alternate Display
Units "Select Sensor Type #Set Measured Attenuation of Sensor at a Low Dewpoint $Set the
Low Dewpoint at which the Attenuation was measured %Set the Calibration Mid-range Adjust
&Analog Output select 4/20mA or 0/24mA 'Perform a Test and Verification of the Analog Out-
put (Set dewpoint corresponding to low end of Analog Output )Set dewpoint corresponding to
high end of Analog Output *Lock/Unlock the instrument !!Sensor Cable Compensation
(back to) !.
These eleven functions are explained in their respective sections which follow. Note that modes
6,7,8&9 will appear only on instruments with the analog output option. Changes can be made
only to an unlocked instrument, the changes are stored (when the MODE button is pressed) and
retained even if the instrument power is turned off.
1. Display of alternate units: In this mode, a second engineering unit can be chosen to be dis-
played alternating with the engineering unit selected in the operating state, for example, a
dewpoint can be alternately shown in °C and in PPM.
CAUTION:
2), 3), 4) and 5) are set at the factory and need only be modified when a sensor is changed.
