The remote RTD inputs are incorporated into a BESTlogicPlus programmable logic scheme by selecting
them from the I/O group in BESTlogicPlus. For more details, refer to Section 5, BESTlogicPlus
Programmable Logic.
A remote RTD input is disabled when Alarm Configuration is set to “None”. Remote RTD input status is
available in BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic when “Status Only” is selected.
The BESTCOMSPlus Remote RTD Input #1 screen is illustrated in Figure 4-39.
Figure 4-39. Remote RTD Input #1
A Label Text: An alphanumeric character string with a maximum of 16 characters.
B Hysteresis: Adjustable from 0 to 100% in 0.1% increments.
C RTD Type: 100 Ohm Platinum or 10 Ohm Copper.
D Arming Delay: Adjustable from 0 to 300 s in 1 s increments.
E Out of Range Alarm Type: None, Alarm, Pre-Alarm, or Status Only.
F Alarm Configuration: None, Alarm, Pre-Alarm, or Status Only.
G Threshold: Adjustable from –58 to +482
°F in 1°F increments or –50 to +250°C in 1°C increments.
H Activation Delay: Adjustable from 0 to 300 s in 1 s increments.
Remote Thermocouple Inputs
An optional AEM-2020 (Analog Expansion Module) provides two thermocouple inputs. To make
identifying the thermocouple inputs easier, a user-assigned name
A can be given to each input.
Select the amount of hysteresis B . The thermocouple inputs are always monitored and their status is
displayed on the appropriate metering screens. A user-adjustable arming delay C allows configuration of
the thermocouple input threshold monitoring in one of two ways. (1) When the arming delay is set to zero,
threshold monitoring is performed all the time, whether the engine is running or not. (2) When the arming
delay is set to a non-zero value, threshold monitoring begins when the arming delay time has expired
after engine startup is complete.
Each thermocouple input can be independently configured to annunciate an alarm, pre-alarm, or status
only
D when the thermocouple input signal falls beyond the threshold E . A user-adjustable activation delay F
setting delays alarm annunciation after the threshold has been exceeded.
A remote thermocouple input is disabled when Alarm Configuration is set to “None”.

Remote thermocouple input status is available in BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic when “Status Only”
