5.1.1 VIEW SETPOINTS

The function of this mode is to provide a quick read-only access to the Alarm
setpoints.

This operation is easier to do than to describe and is therefore shown

diagramatically below.

Pressing

the

CYCLE

key

puts

you

into

VIEW

SETPOINTS

MODE.

The display

will

show

the

first

setpoint

number

available to be viewed,
possibly

SEtP1.

Successive pressing of
the CYCLE key will
cycle through the other
available setpoints.

any setpoint value is
required to be viewed,
the

SHIFT

key

pressed.

The actual

setpoint value is now
displayed.

The format of the setpoint display will be
<alarm action><Setpoint value>
where alarm action will be one of four single characters:-

-Alarm Off;

-Low Alarm;

-High Alarm;

-Deviation Alarm

The Setpoint will be a five digit value scaled in engineering units.
