DS1500 Dewpoint Hygrometer Display values defined in .. For this function, the triggering point is defined as: ( – .) • Differential High – . Deviation alarm. Alarm relay is triggered when the difference (deviation) between the Process Variable value and the reference value () is greater than the value defined in .
DS1500 Dewpoint Hygrometer Display Alarm Timer The alarms can be configured to perform timing functions. The configuration allows the alarm output to be delayed, or to deliver a single pulse or a train of pulses. The delay, the pulse width and the period are defined by the user.
DS1500 Dewpoint Hygrometer Display Special Functions Maximum and Minimum The digital panel meter memorizes the measured maximum and minimum values (peak and valley). These two values are shown when pressing the MAX or MIN keys. Pressing both keys simultaneously will clear the memory for a new peak and valley detection.
DS1500 Dewpoint Hygrometer Display Process Variable Retransmission As an option, the digital panel meter can be supplied with an isolated 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA analog output for Process Variable (PV) retransmission. Available at the back panel terminals 29 and 30. When this option is available, retransmission will be always active, so that the user will not be required to turn it on or off.
The maximum size of the protective fuse is 3A and, together with the power switch, it should be easily accessible and close to the DS1500. The power switch should be marked with a label indicating it will turn OFF the voltage...
