Selecting Error Handling

Programming Site Data
Set up the GF868's inputs and outputs via the four options in the
submenu. While following the programming instructions, refer to
Figure A-2 on page A-2 of Appendix A, Menu Maps.
•
- program the meter's response during an error condition
ERROR
•
OPTN - set up the Slot 0
•
- set the meter's zero point cutoff value
ZERO
•
T,P - set up the temperature and pressure inputs
Enter the I/O submenu by pressing
screen. Then press
[F1]-[F4]
Note: In this section, a slot's number will appear on the option bar
only if an option card is installed in that slot. The generic

Proceed to the appropriate section to program the option selection
made at the above prompt. Remember to record all programmed data
in Appendix B, Data Records.
This menu option permits programming of the manner in which the
Model GF868's outputs respond during an error condition. See
Chapter 2, Error Codes and Screen Messages, of the Service Manual
for a discussion of the built-in error codes.
