5. INTRODUCTION ® The ALMEMO 2450-1L is a new member in our family of unique measuring ® devices - all equipped with Ahlborn's patented ALMEMO connector system. ® The intelligent ALMEMO connector offers decisive advantages when connect- ing sensors and peripherals because all parameters are stored in an EEPROM located on the connector itself;...
5. Introduction ® sensor types to any ALMEMO measuring instrument and to change sensors without the need for any extra settings. Units The 2-character units display can be adapted for each measuring channel so that both the display and the printout always indicate the correct units, e.g. when a transmitter is connected.
Functions Maximum and minimum values For each measuring operation the maximum value and minimum value are ac- quired and saved to memory. These values can then be displayed, output, or deleted from memory. Measured value memory A measured value in the display can be saved by simply pressing a key. 6.

Power supply 7.3 Switching ON / OFF, reinitialization To switch the device ON briefly press and release the key (3) in the OFFr middle of the keypad; to switch the device, OFF press and hold down the key . After the device is switched off all saved values and settings are re- OFFr tained intact;...
Measuring inputs and additional channels 8.2 Measuring inputs and additional channels ® The ALMEMO 2450-1L measuring instrument has one input socket (1) to ® which initially measuring channel M0 is assigned. ALMEMO sensors can, however, if necessary, provide up to four channels. The additional channels can be used in particular for humidity sensors with four measuring variables (temperature / humidity / dew point / mixture ratio) or for function channels.
9. Display and keypad 9. DISPLAY AND KEYPAD 9.1 Display ® The display (2) on the ALMEMO 2450-1L measuring instrument is a 2-row LCD arrangement; the main field comprises 5x 7-segment digits (e) plus 2x 16- segment digits (d) for depicting the measured value;,the function field com- prises 41/2x 7-segment digits (b) for depicting various measuring functions (a);...

Relative measuring 10.4 Relative measuring One very useful function is to zero the meas- ured value at certain locations or at certain times as a reference value in order then to ob- serve only the subsequent deviations. This function is independent of the locking status and does not modify the programming para- meters in the connector.
11. Device configuration 11.1 Automatic switch OFF In menu item ´AOFF´ an automatic device switch OFF time can be programmed in minutes; this will help save the batteries. This automatic device switch OFF will not take effect if the setting is ´- -´ or if a mains adapter or an interface cable is connected.
