Signet 8250-2 Level Transmitter 

5.3 Relay 

Operation

Relay outputs can be used as switches that respond when the 
process variables move above or below setpoints, or when the 
process variables move outside of a window.
•  The relays may be turned Off if not in use.
•  Response can be delayed up to 6400 s ( see Calibrate menu).

Low:

Relay is energized when process variable is less than the 
setpoint. The relay de-energizes when the process variable 
moves above the setpoint plus the hysteresis value.

High:

Relay is energized when process variable is greater than the 
setpoint. The relay de-energizes when the process variable 
moves below the setpoint plus the hysteresis value.

Window:

Relay is energized when the process variable moves above or 
below a 

fi

 xed window of values. The relay de-energizes when 

the process variable moves inside the window by more than the 
hysteresis value.

Note: 

Relays will operate in reverse if miswired. Observe relay 

logic appropriate to the application.

6. VIEW 

Menu

•  During normal operation, the ProcessPro displays the VIEW menu.
•  To select a display, press the UP or DOWN arrow keys. The display selections scroll in a continuous loop.
•  Changing the display selection does not interrupt system operations.
•  No keycode is necessary to change display selection.
•  Output settings cannot be edited from the VIEW menu.
•  When using the CALIBRATE or OPTIONS menus, the ProcessPro will return to the VIEW menu if no key 

is pressed for 10 minutes.
