P8 – DEADBAND

This register is found on the SetPoint model only. It sets the adjustable deadband for the SPDT relays. Deadband
can be set to 0%, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10% of full scale. The relay will energize precisely at the value in its
corresponding P6 and P7 registers on increasing level. The relay will de-energize at a value equal to the
corresponding P6 and P7 register, minus the deadband value, on decreasing level. With a 0% deadband setting, the
relays will energize and reset precisely at the values in the corresponding P6 and P7 registers. During programming,
the choices found in the register correspond to the actual deadband values in percent full scale.
