Description
Carbon CO
%
1-50
Adjusts the CO value to
accommodate for changes in
the sensor or the furnace.
Default is 20.
Dewpt H2
%
1-99
Used in the dewpt equation
with a default value of 40.
Probe
Selects impedance limits, test recovery limit, and minimum temperature limit for
test. The impedance test is only active in input TC/mV mode.

Range
Description
PROBE IMP LIMIT KOHMS
10 – 100
Sets maximum impedance for
Probe alarm
IMPEDANCE
RECOVERY
TIME
SECONDS
0 – 250
Sets maximum Probe recovery
time, timer cut short if probe
recovers faster. The Probe alarm
is set if the probe signal does not
recover while this timer is active.
MIN PROBE TEMP °F or °C
0 – 3000
Tests input temperature reading to
allow for sensor test. Reading >
Min Temp then allow impedance
test.
Outputs
Selects TC type (B, K, R, S). Set the ramp time base or 0 to disable. Set
temperature offset and span values for ramp range. Set the MV ramp time base or
0 to disable. Set MV output offset and span for ramp range. Ramps can be
enabled for TC, MV, or both. If any ramp time is > 0, then ramp(s) start as soon as
the PROBE BUDDY is returned to normal operation.
