Set Instrument Clock

The initial clock value shown in the right column is the computer time when the Alert Record page is opened.
1. Adjust the time value as needed.
2. Use the left arrow to download the time and date to the instrument.
Note
The instrument time will reset to the default value any time power is cycled to the instrument; set the instrument clock as the last
step when commissioning the instrument in a control loop.
If the instrument clock resets unexpectedly, it may indicate intermittent power cycle issues are occurring, such as I/O channel
cycling on/off or a bad wire connection.

Configure Key Alerts:

1. Enable the alerts you want to monitor using the Detailed Setup menu.
2. Key alerts to enable include:
a. Travel Deviation – Travel Alerts Tab
D
Adjust the Alert Point and Time for the actuator size.
b. Supply Pressure Low – Pressure Alerts Tab
D
Set Alert Point to just below the upper bench set pressure or the minimal pressure required to move a piston.
c. Drive Signal – Electronic Alerts tab
D
Drive signal is typically between 60 and 80% when the valve is not on a stop. It is used to determine how hard
the digital valve controller is working to maintain the position of the valve.
