  • Page 8: Programming And Operating The Imr

    PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING THE IMR PROGRAMMING THE IMR Although the unit has been programmed at the factory, the set-ups will generally have to be changed to suit the application. Basic set-up is complete after units of temperature selection, decimal point selection, and digital filtering level selection. Before actually trying to program the indicator, it is advised to organize all the data for the programming steps to avoid any possible confusion and to read the programming procedure entirely before proceeding.

    TEMPERATURE MONITORING EXAMPLE An IMR is installed as a monitoring device and back-up controller for a freezer storage facility. Normally, the freezer temperature is maintained at about -29°C ±2°. The absolute maximum allowable temperature of the freezer is 0°C. In the event of a system failure, alarm output #1 of the IMR is programmed to start a secondary cooling system should the temperature reach 0°C.
