RS232 Commands

C Command:

Description: Transmit target temperature in Celsius 

Syntax: C CR [LF]
F Command:

Description: Transmit target temperature in Fahrenheit

Syntax: F CR [LF]
ALARM Command:

Description: Transmit alarm setpoint

Syntax: ALARM CR [LF]
VERSION Command:

Description: Transmit model number, firmware version, 

and output model.

Syntax: VERSION CR [LF]
AMODE Command:

Description: Set/Transmit alarm activation mode 

rising/falling.

Syntax: AMODE [SP MODE] CR [LF]

(Optional) MODE: Specifies whether the alarm will 

activate at the setpoint with rising temperature, or 

falling temperature. The valid range for this parameter 

is 0 to 1. A value of 1 will cause the alarm to activate on 

rising temperature, and 0 will cause activation on falling 

temperature. 

Examples:

Typing “AMODE” and pressing “Enter” does not 

change the activation mode but it is reported.

Typing “AMODE 0” and pressing “Enter” changes the 

activation mode to falling and is reported as such.
EMS Command:

Description: Transmit emissivity setting

Syntax: EMS CR [LF]
CABLE Command:

Description:

Syntax: CABLE [SP LENGTH] CR [LF]

(Optional) LENGTH: Specifies the total length (in feet) 

of cable attached between the sensor head and the 

transmitter box. The valid range for this parameter is 

6 to 56. If this parameter is not specified, the length 

currently set will be transmitted.

Examples:

Typing “CABLE” and then pressing “Enter” does not 

change the current cable length compensation value but 

is reported.

Typing “CABLE 200” and then pressing “Enter” changes 

the current cable length compensation value to 56 

because 200 is above the max length.
