Page 6: General Description
There are 10 trip counters as well as an overall total allowing the operator to track numerous jobs in a period of work. The Jackal can be put ‘on hold’ by the operator or by a suitable signal from the machinery, so that periods of machine operation that should not accumulate as a work total can be excluded from trip totals. -

3.1.4. SOFT kEYS The Jackal has 3 soft keys placed directly under the LCD. These keys will change function in different menus. The current function of the soft key is indicated at the bottom of the screen directly above the button. In the main menu the soft keys provide access to information display MoDE, ToTAL and TRIP memories as described in subsequent sections. -

Page 19: Analogue Inputs
Calibration requires two values. The low value sets the zero point. If the sensor ever produces a lower output that the low point used for calibration the Jackal will display zero not a negative number. Therefore the Jackal must be calibrated using the lowest value expected in operation. -

ALM LO and ALM hI alarm values in the indicated units using the nAV Enter the keys. - Page 21 Maximum values are determined by which ever is lowest of either the voltage input limit (5V), or the sensor output limit. The Jackal does not calculate an offset for the sensor. Therefore if the lowest pressure measured by the sensor is 1 Atmosphere (14.7 PSI, 101 kPa) the absolute pressure measurement will be e.g.

P1 and P2 will provide a more accurate calibration. The Jackal assumes that the Pressure Sensor output changes linearly with a change in pressure, as shown in Figure 21. In practice sensors may not be perfectly linear. It is recommended that pressure sensors used are operated in the linear region of sensor output. - Page 23 High and Low depths used should be representative of highest and lowest depths expected during operation. A/D LO value used for calibration defines what the Jackal considers 0. Therefore all have a higher A/D value than the A/D LO value used in calibration.

12 volt is applied to input. NOTES: There is an internal pull up resistor so a floating or 12 volt input is not differentiated. Therefore, if the alarm Polarity is set LOW and the sensor is disconnected from the Jackal ALARM WILL NOT TRIGGER. -

The main screen should display as shown in Figure 31 and each input will display ‘NOT USED’ when cycled through using the MEnU key. If the Jackal does not display as shown in Figure 31, use the MEnU and nAV keys to inactivate inputs. -
