shows all the input options available. The selected option must be in
accordance with the internal configuration of the jumper, as Table 01
shows.
Unit:
Defines the variable unit.
Scale:
Defines the range, in engineering units, for representing the input
variable measured. Adjustable from –32000 to +32000 for 4-20 mA, 0-
20 mA, 0-50 mV and 0-10 inputs, for the remaining input times the
scale is fixed.
Offset:
Allows fine offset corrections on the measured value.
Value:
Defines readings recording mode:
Instantaneous: The instant value read at the logging time.
Average: Ten readings at each reading interval. The average value of
readings is the value recorded;
Minimum: Ten readings at each reading interval. The lowest value
found is recorded;
Maximum: Ten readings at each reading interval. The highest value
found is recorded;
Alarm:
It defines a limit range of variables measured that, once exceeded,
trigger the alarm. Once activated, the alarm LED indicator stays so
even after the alarm-triggering situation has ceased. LOW defines the
minimum value under which the alarm is triggered; HIGH defines the
maximum value above which the alarm sensor is triggered.
