  • Page 2 Hint: For faster calibrations, the position of the switch can be felt. This feature allows continuous monitoring of the device being calibrated without looking back at the Model 530 display. This is also useful in poor lighting or under difficult operating conditions.
  • Page 3 Quick Reference Bar Graph The Quick Reference Bar Graph indicates the input and output level to the Model 530 in % of 4-20 mA with 1% resolution. If the input or output signal is outside the normal operating range of the Model 530 the Quick Reference Bar Graph is replaced by an error message (see section I for errors.)
  • Page 4 ON/OFF (default) If Factory Reset is ON, the unit will restore all factory defaults when the Model 530 is turned OFF and back ON. This will reset any changes made in the Model 530 Configuration options, returning the unit to its simplest factory configuration.
