Down Scale and Up Scale selection. Using its output, alarm mode and confi gure as either a Trip, Fault or the CPA can be confi gured to provide a special Band alarm. Select whether to use as a Fail Safe or warning of a breakdown or failure.
PC-Programmable RTD, T/C, Ohms, mV and Potentiometer Limit Alarm Trips Alarms The Band Alarm is activated when the Process Variable is outside of the Low/High Trip point ranges. The Trip Low is always lower than the Trip High and Trip Low and Trip High Alarms their deadbands are inside the range of Low/High Trip.
“Point 2 correctly. Trim”. The CPA can trim any point along the scale. Note 4. To enable input trim and the values stored, click the that one-point trimming applies an offset to the sensor “Input Trim ON”.

Output Trimming increases the measurement accuracy A Loop Test may be performed in order to check of your CPA by calibrating its analog output to the output performance and accuracy and to trim other device that is receiving the output. This ensures that instruments in the loop.
PC-Programmable RTD, T/C, Ohms, mV and Potentiometer Limit Alarm Trips Output Damping A possible source for this occurence is a rapid change on the input. Another possiblity would be an existing Output Damping allows you to introduce a delay into output level of 5.6mA upon Start Measurements from the response of your unit in order to stop short-lived a PC.
(Figure 12). This allows you Source variables are inserted into the X Column while to tell the CPA what it should output when it receives the corresponding data is inserted into the Y Column. a certain input. This feature also allows you the ability 3.
Installation consists of physically mounting the unit Once programmed, calibrated, installed, and supplied and completing the electrical connections. with the correct power, the CPA alarm begins to operate immediately. Depending upon environmental conditions, it can be expected to operate unattended for extended periods of time.
