6. PARAMETER LOCKOUTS The instrument is supplied with all software programming TOTAL LOCKOUT parameters accessible to operator's modifications. After The access to the programming routines to read data is completing the software configuration, it is recommended to allowed even if all parameters are locked out, but it won’t take the following steps: be possible to enter or modify data.

ENTER This gives access to either the parameter list or to change the code if desired. SEt2 - - - - If the user opts for changing the code, the unit asks for the...
7. OUTPUT OPTIONS The options are supplied with a specific instructions manual Output options with instructions manual edited before describing characteristics, installation, connections December 1999, work properly with new versions of programming. The output cards are easily installed on the Beta-M but some new features may not be described in meter's main board by means of plug-in connectors and each the options manual.
Page 14
The figure shows the main circuit board locations of the available output options. Each plug-in location can accept only one card from a particular function type. The options 2RE, 4RE, 4OP and 4OPP are for setpoint control and only one of them can be installed in the M5 location.

ANNEXE A. SETPOINTS The option ‘MAX’ is for non-filtered peak values and the option ‘MAX-F’ is for filtered values. The setpoint configuration options (latch, HI-LO mode, delay-hysteresis, blink) The following functions have been added: are programmed as for a standard setpoint but some have different meanings in this case, the setpoint value is the display value from which the unit begins 1.

TARE MODE On tArE1 mode at one press of the key, the instrument stores the value shown on display at this TARE moment, if it is not on overflow, the TARE LED lights and from this moment the shown value is net value (the measured minus the stored).

Programming: If have selected input Process or Potentiometer, on the menu 20 “CndSP” after submenu 27 “–VoL-“ and with another push of key you get the submenu ModTA. If have selected input “Load Cell” on the menu 20 “CndSP” after the submenu 26 and pushing key you get the submenu ModTA.
SENSOR BREAK This function allows detecting any broken wire that connect the sensor “Load Cell” to the instrument. The analysis to detect the broken wires is done every 1,5 seconds and the response of Relays and ANA options (if used) will be the same if it were a overflow (oVFLo) situation, input signal greater than allowed.
FAIL SAFE Function that allows detecting the power supply fault or an instrument fault and in this way can be informed the PLC or another general system of supervision using the relay option programmed in this way. This function can be programmed on any of the activated relay, in the submenu 31, 32, 33, 34 after the programming parameter “–Hi-Lo-“...

r.o.C. Function (rate of Change) The function r.o.C is useful to detect the changing speed of display value, depending on programmed setpoint polarity we detect the increasing or decreasing. In mode r.o.C., if the setpoint values is, for example = 1000, that means that the alarm will be activated when the display value increase more than 1000 points per second.

doSE THERMOCOUPLE and Pt100 If has been programmed input “Load Cell, Potentiometer or Process”, only in the submenu 31 is possible to select the function “doSE” PEAK WAY of WORKING of SETPOINT1 in MODE "doSE" When the function “doSE” is selected on the setpoint 1 menu, can not choose the comparison value, since it will be on the net value of the display. Nor can choose HI or LO mode as this will depend on whether the setpoint is positive (HI) or negative (LO) and the numerical value of setpoint will have to be mandatory to program on the direct programming of setpoint values routine (keys ENTER and LIMIT).
