    • To reduce potential for noise do not run pressure transmitter cable / wires alongside (same conduit as) high voltage (line power) lines. For optimum results use dedicated conduit for GC52 cable / wires. • If using the Cable Gland termination option must use cable within previously noted diameters to maintain environmental ratings.

    MODE CHANGES • Measurement Mode (Section 11 for further detail) will be entered upon power-on. Setting Mode (Section 13 for further detail) is entered by pressing and holding the MODE button for more than 3 seconds. If there is no button operation for 10 minutes in the setting mode, it will shift back to the Measurement Mode automatically.
  • Page 15: Measurement Mode

    11. MEASUREMENT MODE The measurement mode includes differential pressure display mode, and to k linear (scaling) display mode. For the setting items , please refer to the Setting Mode (section13.1). 11.1 Filter Set the filter before setting pressure display mode or linear (scaling) display mode.

    13.2 Setting Items for Linear Display Mode (Re-scaling in arbitrary user defined units) Set the filter before setting the linear display mode (Refer to the preceding Section 11.1). The setting of the following table is the Setting example 2: Linear display mode of Section 11.3. (Arbitrary unit: m).
  • Page 23 (1) The decimal point position is fixed for each differential pressure range. (Refer to section 10,Power-on Message). The maximum differential pressure can be set from the value which is 25%F.S above the minimum differential pressure. The values under 25%F.S. cannot be increased or decreased by T, S key. (2) For setting zero point and span point of the analog output, input the percent value over the maximum display span (between OFFSET and FULL SCALE).
