5.6.1 Monitor Units
The Monitor Units parameter determines the units of the Control Input sensor to use
for creating the proportional voltage output. The Monitor Out scaling parameter set-
tings will be entered using the units chosen for this parameter.

5.6.1.1 Polarity and Monitor Out Scaling Parameters
In the Monitor Out and Open Loop modes, the voltage output can be configured as
either unipolar (0 V to +10 V) or bipolar (–10 V to +10 V). In bipolar mode, the Monitor
Out –10 V setting determines the temperature or sensor value at which the output
should be –10 V. In unipolar mode, the Monitor Out 0 V setting determines the tem-
perature or sensor value at which the output should be 0 V. The Monitor Out +10 V
setting determines the temperature or sensor value at which the output should be
+10 V in either unipolar or bipolar modes.
Bipolar
Input mode
Unipolar
For example, if Polarity is set to Bipolar, then setting the Monitor Out –10 V parameter
to 0 K and the Monitor Out +10 V parameter to 100 K will cause the voltage output to
correspond to the input temperature as shown in FIGURE 5-4. In this case if the actual
reading was 50 K, then the output would be at 0 V (middle of the scale).
Bipolar
FIGURE 5-4 Analog output with polarity set to bipolar
FIGURE 5-5 shows the output if the Polarity parameter is set to Unipolar. In this case if
the actual reading was 50 K, the voltage output would be +5 V (middle of the scale).
