Limits - Elcometer 355 Operating Instructions Manual

Press [ENTER]; the display will alternate between 'dEL' and 'ALL?'.
Press [ENTER] to delete all batches or [Esc] to cancel the operation.

6 LIMITS

If limits are set and a reading is taken which is outside the limits, the red LED will
show and a longer beep will be given (1 second instead of 0.5 seconds).
Limits may be set in immediate mode where they will act as reference values or in batch mode before
readings are taken, or after readings are cleared. If readings exist within a batch, then the current low limit
will be displayed followed by the current high limit for a period of 1 second each.
6.1 TO SET LIMITS
1. Press [LIMIT] followed by [<] for low, or [>] for high. The current value will be displayed - 'Lo' symbol is
displayed for low limit and 'Hi' symbol for high limit.
2. The value may now be changed to a new value, and then press [ENTER].
Once one limit is set, the other will be displayed; either accept the value and press [ENTER], or
change to a new value and then press [ENTER].
6.2 TO RESET (CANCEL) LIMITS
To reset the limits to values outside the range of the module, press [CLEAR]. With these settings, limits will
not normally operate.
Note: Reasonable limits are set at a default value of 20% of the effective range, less or greater than the low
or high limits respectively. These values may be adjusted - see "Reasonable limits function" on page 23.
