Error Processing
3-28
The Series 1 user program includes an Error Processing menu that
may be used to specify how the recorders/analog outputs and the
alarms respond to Range, Signal and Calibration errors.
The meter categorizes range errors as Under Range if the input
signal goes below the probe calibration range or Over Range if the
input signal goes above the probe calibration range. However, signal
errors are always categorized as Over Range, while calibration
errors are always categorized as Under Range.
Note: See Chapter 2 in the Service Manual for a detailed description
of Range, Signal and Calibration Errors.
When an error condition occurs, the meter displays an error message
on the screen and it drives the recorders/analog outputs and alarm
relays as indicated in Table 3-10 below.

(if installed) and recorder/analog outputs. The error responses are
independently programmable for each channel.
