    ViewSmart 200/2050/2150 Controller User's Manual Document: UM-1021 Revision Level B  Low Trip is set for NO for increasing alarms or YES for decreasing alarms to determine if the alarm activates upon exceeding or falling below the set-point.  Latching determines either manual or automatic alarm reset operation. YES requires a manual Alarm Reset to unlatch the alarm even though an alarm condition no longer exists.

    2.2.5 CAL SETUP MENU The ViewSmart 200 CAL MODE feature supports pushbutton calibration of zero and span values. This feature should be utilized only when there are no other zero/span controls within the monitoring system since it is inappropriate to calibrate a signal at more than one point.

  • Page 17: Calibrate Input Menu

    Optional 4-20mA outputs (if equipped) transmit 1.5mA during CAL MODE and 4mA during the subsequent CAL PURGE delay to prevent external alarms during calibration. Local ViewSmart 200 alarm relays are inhibited during CAL MODE. Unintentional calibrations may be reset by the Set UNITY menu item.

    Initial Setup all subsequent calibrations are by the ViewSmart 200’s electronic Cal Mode menus (see section 2.2.5). Sensors mounted locally to the ViewSmart 200 normally do not require Initial Setup since it is performed at the factory.

  • Page 29: Bridge Sensor Initial Setup

    Bridge sensors vary widely in power requirements and sensitivity. It is therefore important to configure each channel to match the sensor with which it will operate. Sensors attached to the ViewSmart 200 enclosure at the factory have already had Initial Setup.

    Each channel’s output will transmit 4mA for 0% readings and 20mA for 100% readings. If the ViewSmart 200 primary power is 100 – 240 VAC or at least 24 VDC, 4-20mA outputs are capable of driving 20mA through a 750 ohm load. Outputs are self powered and DC power should not be provided by the receiving device.
