MODULE #8 - PROGRAM RE-TRANSMITTED ANALOG OUTPUT
This programming module allows digital scaling of the 4 to 20 mA or 0 to
10VDCanalog output.Thetype ofanalogoutputis determinedbythe model
ordered.(See Ordering Informationfor availablemodels.) Thedisplay value
atwhich4mAor0VDCandthe displayvalueatwhich20mAor10VDCare
transmitted are keyed-in. The indicator automatically calculates slope and
intercept values to complete the scaling. The analog output then follows the
calculated display value and as such will update every measurement cycle.
The output may also be programmed to proportionally re-transmit the
contents of the totalizer instead of the input. Reverse acting output can be
achieved by programming the “high” display value for the “AN-LO”
programming step and the “low” display value for the “AN-HI” step.
Note: DO NOT ADJUST THE ANALOG OUTPUT POTS ON THE BACK OF
THE UNIT. Fineoffset andspan adjustment potsare externallyaccessible to
compensate for small drifts in the output. These pots have been set at the
factory and do not normally require adjustment.
ANALOG OUTPUT SOURCE
Program whether the input or the totalizer will serve as the basis for the
analog output signal. If the integrator/totalizer option is not installed, then
this step defaults to “Input”.
“ASIN” < > “INPUt” or “totAL”
ANALOG OUTPUT LO DISPLAY VALUE
Program the display value at which the analogoutput transmits 4mA or 0
VDC.
“AN-Lo” < > “-999” to “9999” for “INPUt”
“-99999” to “999999” for “totAL”
ANALOG OUTPUT HI DISPLAY VALUE
Program the display value at which the analog output transmits 20 mA or
10 VDC.
“AN-HI” < > “-999” to “9999” for “INPUt”
“-99999” to “999999” for “totAL”
