4.6.1 Manual (Select/Define Range) Screen

The Manual range-switching mode allows you to select a single, fixed

analysis range. It then allows you to redefine the upper and lower limits, for the
range.

Press

Range

key to start the Range function.

Select range

mode: MANUAL

Note: If all three ranges are currently defined for different applica-

tion gases, then the above screen does not display (because
mode must be manual). Instead, the LCD goes directly to the
following screen.

If above screen displays, use the

∆∇

arrow keys to Select

MANUAL, and

press

Enter.

Select range to run

—> Ш1 Ш2 Ш3 CAL<—

Use the < > keys to select the range: 00, 01, 02, or 03. (04 is for future

expansion.) Then press

Enter

.

Gas use: O2 — N2

Range: Ø — 16 %

Use the < > keys to toggle between the Range: low-end field and the

Range: high-end field. Use the

∆∆∆∆∆∇

keys to change the values of the fields.

Press

Escape

to return to the previous screen to select or define another

range.

Press

Enter

to return the to the

Analyze

function.

4.6.2 Auto (Single Application) Screen

The Auto screen requires you to select an application (previously defined in

the

System

function. It then automatically places all ranges previously defined

for that application in queue for automatic range switching.

In the autoranging mode, the microprocessor automatically responds to

concentration changes by switching ranges for optimum readout sensitivity. If the
upper limit of the operating range is reached, the instrument automatically shifts
to the next higher range. If the concentration falls to below 85% of full scale of
the next lower range, the instrument switches to the lower range. A correspond-
ing shift in the DC concentration output, and in the range ID outputs, will be
noticed.
