9.1.1 Point
Inputs 1-6 are associated with the physical wiring terminals on the unit. Input seven is used to monitor
the incoming power to the MP1. Use the dropdown to select input 1-7 that you want to define. To
define and use input 7 set the input type to CUSTOM with an offset of 0, low value of 0 and high value of
61 to read Volts DC. Then set the log type to interval and enter the interval in minutes for logging.
9.1.2 Point Name
The point name will allow up to thirty-two characters to describe the point being monitored. The name
is case sensitive and will be displayed exactly as you typed it.
9.1.3 Sensor Type
The sensor type dropdown will list the available choices for the input. They are as follows:
DRYNO
DRYNC
WETNO
WETNC
TEMPF
TEMPC
CUSTOM
9.1.4 Offset
The offset field is used for any analog sensor to correct the reading of the input. The MP1 will read the
input and add the offset value automatically so all alarms, logging and display screens show the
corrected value.
9.1.5 Custom Low
This field is used when selecting the CUSTOM input type and will be the value displayed when the input
is reading the minimum value or 0 VDC in. The MP1 will use this value along with the Custom High value
to create a scale and display the sensor in the correct engineering units.
9.1.6 Custom High
Used in conjunction with the Custom Low field to create a scale for the sensor attached to the input.
The High value is the reading the sensor will have when the input is at the maximum input value. Quest

A dry contact closure that is normally open. This input will show an OFF value
when open and an ON value when closed.
A dry contact closure that is normally closed. This input will show an ON value
when open and an OFF value when closed.
A wet contact closure that is normally open. A wet contact is an input that
provides its own voltage. A value greater than 2.8 VDC is determined to be in
the ON state and a voltage less than 0.8VDC is deemed to be in the OFF state.
The maximum voltage allowed on the input is 65 VDC.

The MP1 supports 10k Type III thermistors. Choosing TEMPF will display
readings in Fahrenheit.
The MP1 supports 10k Type III thermistors. Choosing TEMPC will display
readings in Celsius.
The custom scale allows you to enter a scale using the Custom Low and Custom
High fields. This allows you to create a scale for any sensor that provides a signal
between 0-5 VDC or 0-20 mA. Note the scale is a linear interpolation between
the low and high values. Quest has a spreadsheet file to assist in determining
scale factors. Please contact your representative to obtain a copy of the file.
