Page 6: Introduction
Page 6 1 INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The level monitor model F190-A is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to display and monitor any process sensor signal. It can generate up to four alarms and output analog signal related to the signal. This product has been designed with a focus on: ▪... - Page 7 Page 7 Configuration of the unit The F190-A is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F190-A according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as span, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.

Page 15: Menu 3 - Hysteresis
Page 15 SETPOINT LOW- When low-low, low, high or high-high alarm monitoring is enabled at SETUP 2.3 to SETUP 2.6, the setpoints are set with these settings. SETPOINT LOW An alarm will be generated as long as the actual value is: SETPOINT HIGH LOW-LOW lower or equal to this setpoint. - Page 16 Page 16 OW ALARMS IGH ALARMS ISABLED This mode is used when only simple setpoints are required. An alarm is generated when the process value reaches the setpoint. The alarm is removed when the process value passes the setpoint again in the right direction. In this mode, the delay time is only active when an alarm is set, not when it is reset.

Page 17 HYSTERESIS LOW- When the Hysteresis mode is set to Balanced or Unbalanced at SETUP 3.5, the hysteresis values are set with these settings. HYSTERESIS LOW Note: If a hysteresis value is set to zero (0), alarm generation is identical to HYSTERESIS HIGH when the hysteresis mode is set to DISABLED, but the delay time is HYSTERESIS HIGH-... - Page 18 Page 18 FILTER The analog output signal of a sensor represents the actual process value. This signal is measured several times a second. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real value as it will be fluctuating. With the help of this digital filter a stable and accurate reading can be obtained while the filter level can be set to a desired value.
