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 VFD goes directly to the
following screen.

If above screen displays, use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to Select

4.6.2 Auto Screen

Autoranging will automatically set to the application that has at least two

range setup with the same gases.

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.

The autoranging feature can be overridden so that analog output stays on a

fixed range regardless of the contaminant concentration detected. If the concen-
tration exceeds the upper limit of the range, the DC output will saturate at 1 V dc
(20 mA at the current output).

However, the digital readout and the RS-232 output of the concentration

are unaffected by the fixed range. They continue to read beyond the full-scale
setting until amplifier saturation is reached. Below amplifier saturation, the over
