4.6 The Range Function
The Range function allows the operator to program up to three concen-
tration ranges to correlate with the DC analog outputs. If no ranges are
defined by the user, the instrument defaults to:
Range Limits
Low 0–1 %
Med 0–5 %
High 0–10 %.
The Model 3010PAC is set at the factory to default to autoranging. In
this mode, the microprocessor automatically responds to concentration
changes by switching ranges for optimum readout sensitivity. If the current
range limits are exceeded, the instrument will automatically shift to the next
higher range. If the concentration falls to below 85% of full scale of the next
lower range, the instrument will switch to that range. A corresponding shift
in the DC percent-of-range output, and in the range ID outputs, will be
noticed.
The autoranging feature can be overridden so that analog output stays
on a fixed range regardless of the oxygen concentration detected. If the
concentration exceeds the upper limit of the range, the DC output will
saturate at 1 V dc (20 mA at the current output).
However, the digital readout and the RS-232 output of the concentra-
tion are unaffected by the fixed range. They continue to read accurately with
full precision. See Front Panel description in chapter 1.
The automatic air calibration range is always 0-25 % and is not pro-
grammable.
4.6.1 Setting the Analog Output Ranges
To set the ranges, enter the range function mode by pressing the
Range button on the front panel.
