Monitor Setup - Redpost RPC-80 Manual

MONITOR SETUP

This section covers setting up a 200 or 300 series PU monitor from the playback
unit.
Unlike the other setup sections, the changes you make here will apply only to the
monitor that is connected to the RPC-80 at the time.
The monitor must be switched on and connected before you start the setting
procedure. Switch on the monitor before connecting it to the RPC-80.
Active channel setup
At first the S

monitor that you have connected. Press the OK button to start.
You will be presented with a display showing all the possible input channels of the
monitor with a tick (4) next to the active ones and a cross (X) next to the inactive
ones. If you want to change the status of any of the channels press the C
button. If everything is as you want it then press the OK button.
Having decided to make any changes you use the O
active/inactive status of the channel shown by the flashing cursor. A tick (4) shows
an active channel and a cross (X) shows an inactive one. The OK> button moves the
cursor to the next channel. When all the possible channels have been set the display
changes again to the one with two buttons labelled OK and C
a chance to change your mind if you have made a mistake. If everything is correct
press OK.
Monitors are despatched with all channels active. You can make the temperature
channels of a PU monitor inactive on a temporary basis by using dummy plugs. You
might wish to use this part of the configuration section to make a more permanent
change. You cannot use dummy plugs for the pressure channel of the PU monitor
and so you must use this method of making channel inactive.
There are advantages in making channels inactive when you do not require their
information. There will be no irrelevant information in the graph or the results. Each
record will take less space in the monitor's memory and so longer recording times
may be possible. Inactive channels are not checked for correct probe operation and
so you can run with damaged probes.
All sockets must always be occupied with a probe, a test plug or a dummy plug
before a PU monitor is sent through the pasteuriser. The pressure channel of a PU
monitor can be left unconnected.
You cannot make all the channels of a monitor inactive. If you try to do so, channel 1
will be set active. The active channel setup is therefore not available for single
channel monitors.
A C display alternates with the serial number of the
