2120XL

Teledyne Analytical Instruments

When

HOLD

is selected, the analog output (4-20 mA) and the

range ID contacts will freeze on their last state before entering one of the
calibration modes. When the instrument returns to the

Analyze

mode,

either by a successful or an aborted calibration, there will be a three-
minute delay before the analog outputs and the range ID contacts start
tracking again.

The concentration alarms freeze on their last state before entering

calibration regardless of selecting

HOLD

TRACK

. But, when

HOLD

is selected the concentration alarms will remain frozen for the time set in
the

Calholdtimer

screen after the analyzer returns to the

Analyze

mode.

This function sets the time period for the analog output hold as well

as the time period for which the alarms will be suppressed during a
calibration event.

To set the time period for a hold, press the

The factory default is three minutes, but the delay time is program-

mable. This preference is stored in non-volatile memory so that it is
recovered if power is removed from the instrument.
