Menu Item
There are zero, two or three Limit menus depending on how many Limits were
purchased with the instrument. These menus determine the operation of each of
the limits.
Detailed instructions on operating the instrument in the SETUP Menu mode can
be found in "SETUP Menu mode" on page 23. A diagram of all menus is located
in "Setup Menu Reference" on page 133.
This enables or disables the operation of this limit. The two options for this menu
item are " " and " ".
ON OFF
This is the numeric value in engineering units for the signal level that activates the
limit.
This is the numeric value at which the limit deactivates. In general, this number
should differ from the set point values by at least 1% of full scale.
Carefully consider what value should be entered for the RETURN POINT. If the
signal is expected to approach the SET POINT from a lower value, the RETURN
POINT value should be less (algebraically) than the SET POINT. If the signal is
expected to approach the SET POINT from a higher level, the RETURN POINT
should be higher (algebraically) than the SET POINT.
This specifies when to activate the limit relative to the set point and return point.
The options for this menu item are:
• " " means the limit will activate when the signal is higher than
SIGNAL > SETPOINT
the set point.
• " " means the limit will activate when the signal is lower than
SIGNAL < SETPOINT
the set point.
• " " means the limit will activate when the signal is in between the
SIGNAL INSIDE
set point and the return point.
• " " means the limit will activate when the signal is not in between
SIGNAL OUTSIDE
the set point and the return point.
The figures below further illustrate the differences between these settings.
