  • Page 6: Operation During Setup

    Pressing all three pushbuttons simultaneously will reset the captured Peak value,the cpatured Valley value and reset the latching relays. Note that the state of latching relays and the Peak/Valley values are stored electronically. If power to the unit is interrupted the latched relay states will be lost and Peak/Valley values will be reset.

  • Page 7: Activating Operator Setup

    Activating Operator Setup If Operator Setup was enabled under Supervisor Setup, pressing the red ENTER/SAVE pushbutton and holding it for more than 3 seconds activates Operator Setup. When operator setup is first enabled, is displayed on the digital display. This is the point at which the user enters Operator Setup.
  • Page 8 P A S S Supervisor Setup allows access to BarGraph parameters that should not be changed routinely and may even lead to dangerous situations if inadvertently changed. For this reason, entry into the Supervisor Setup mode is protected by a password. The display will show (zero), prompting the user to enter the correct pass- word.
  • Page 9 A L 1 A L 2 A L 3 A L 4 Up to four alarm setpoints are provided, depending on the options ordered. In Operator Setup these setpoint values may be examined and changed only if Operator Setup was enabled under Supervisor Setup (see Enable/Disable Operator Setup).

  • Page 15 A L 1 A L 2 A L 3 A L 4 Up to four alarm setpoints are provided, depending on the options ordered. Each of these setpoints may be programmed as a high or low setpoint and for standard or failsafe relay operation in Supervisor Setup.
  • Page 16 H Y S Hysteresis may be set in 0.01% increments from 0 to 10% of Full Scale. Attempting to incre- ment past 10% will enable latching for all alarms. The display will show the current hysteresis setting. Press ENTER/SAVE Pressing the INCREASE or DECREASE pushbutton will increase or decrease the hysteresis setting.
  • Page 17 Z E R O This is a calibration function. This function and BarGraph FullScale function are used to calibrate for linear process measurement. They affect the value displayed on the digital display of the BarGraph. For nonlinear process measurement, use the Table function. See Section 3, Calibration, for details.
  • Page 18 F U L L This is a calibration function. This function and BarGraph Zero function are used to calibrate for linear process measurement. They affect the value displayed on the digital display of the BarGraph. For nonlinear process measurement, use the Table function. See Section 3, Calibra- tion, for details.
  • Page 19 B A R This function allows the user to set the bar display format. The most common display format is bottom zero, i.e.; starts at the bottom (or most left for horizontal displays) and increasing up (towards the right for horizontal displays). The BarGraph™ zero point can be located or refer- enced anywhere on or off the scale in this setup.
  • Page 20 B . Z E R O This function will not be enabled or displayed unless barform has been set to Deviation or Variable barform (see Barform function). The BarGraph™ zero display point may be set to a certain display value. This is not a calibration function. It only affects the range of values that the bar display will show.

  • Page 29  Set Calibration Table This is a calibration function which utilizes a table of values to achieve a linear indication, when a non-linear set of signal values defines the process being measured. If this prompt is visible, the ZERO and FULL calibration methods will no longer function and calibration must be performed in accordance with section 3.2.
  • Page 30 A . F U L L This function controls the fullscale value of the analog retransmit signal. It may be set to any value between 0 and 20 mA (milliAmps) in 0.001 mA increments. Typical values are 1 for a 0 to 1 mA signal and 20 mA for a 4 to 20 mA signal.

  • Page 34: Calibration Methods

    Calibration Methods The first step in the calibration process is to decide which calibration method will be used. There are two different calibration methods available. Choice of calibration method depends on the process being monitored. The first method involves a simple two-point calibration and is useful for linear process vari- ables.
