selection 

32-5432°F 

Or 

0-3000°C 

This is the minimum value the 

ramp function. Default is minimum 

of selected TC type. Updated only 

when TC type changes. 

TC SPAN 

In F of C scale 

depending on 

TEMP SCALE 

selection 

32-5432°F 

Or 

0-3000°C 

This is the maximum value the 

ramp function. Default is 

maximum of selected TC type. 

Updated only when TC type 

changes. 

MV RAMP 

0, 30, 45, 60 

Ramp rate in 

seconds 

0 disables ramp function. Ramp is 

a sawtooth with ramp from offset 

to span and drop back to offset. 

MV OFFSET 

Starting value on 

mV signal for ramp 

output. 

0 – 2000mV 

This is the minimum value of the 

ramp function. Default for carbon 

and dewpoint is 1000mV, 0mV for 

oxygen process. 

MV SPAN 

Maximum value of 

ramp 

0 – 2000mV 

This is the maximum value the 

ramp function. Default for carbon 

and dewpoint is 1800, 80mV for 

oxygen.
