8.4 Setpoints
(PATH: Menu / Configure / Setpoints)
Enter configuration mode as described in Section 8.1.
Press the [ENTER] key to select this Menu.
Up to 6 Setpoints can be configured on any of the measurements (a thru d). The possible
Setpoint types are Off, High, Low, Outside and Between.
An ”Outside” Setpoint will cause an alarm condition whenever the measurement goes above its
high limit or below its low limit. A ”Between” Setpoint will cause an alarm condition to occur
whenever the measurement is between its high and low limits.
Enter the desired value(s) for the Setpoint and press [ENTER]
This screen provides the option to configure a setpoint to be active on an over range condition.
Select the setpoint and ”Yes” or ”No”. Select the desired relay that will activate when the setpoint
alarm condition is reached.
Over Range
Once configured, the selected relay will be activated if a sensor over-range condition is detected
on the assigned input channel.
Delay
Enter the delay time in seconds. A time delay requires the setpoint to be exceeded continuously
for the specified length of time before activating the relay. If the condition disappears before the
delay period is over, the relay will not be activated.
Hysteresis
Enter the hysteresis as a percentage-value. A hysteresis value requires the measurement to
return within the setpoint value by a specified percentage before the relay is deactivated.
For a high setpoint, the measurement must decrease more than the indicated percentage
below the setpoint value before the relay is deactivated. With a low setpoint, the measurement
must rise at least this percentage above the setpoint value before the relay is deactivated. For
example, with a high setpoint of 100, when this value is exceeded, the measurement must fall
below 90 before the relay is deactivated.
Hold
Enter the Relay Hold Status of ”Last”, ”On” or ”Off”. This is the state the Relay will go to during a
Hold status.
State
Relay contacts are in normal state until the associated setpoint is exceeded, then the relay is
activated and the contact states change.
Select ”Inverted” to reverse the normal operating state of the relay (i.e. Normally open contacts
are in a closed state, and normally closed contacts are in an open state, until the setpoint is
exceeded). ”Inverted” relay operation is functional when power is applied to the M400
transmitter. Relay No 2 always operates inverted. All other relays can be configured.
Pressing the [ENTER] key again will bring up the Save Changes dialog. Selecting No will
discard the entered values and return to the measurement display screen, selecting Yes will
save changes made.
