Operation

Operation Parameters

Set Point:  

Sets the operating set point for the control outputs.   "SP" does not

appear, the control set point 

value

 will.  Decrementing the set point below rL

displays OFF in the lower display.  This disables all outputs except deviation alarm
outputs, which remain energized.

Range: 

OFF/ rL to rH

Default:

  Dependent on input range

Program:  

Select whether you want to enter the Program menu or enter the

Operation menu. By selecting no, you continue to the Operation menu.

Range:

  YES or no

Default:

  no

Ent1:  

Select whether Event 1 ( Output 3) is ON or OFF.  When a profile is com-

plete or has been put on hold, it holds at its previous state.  Only appears if Ot3 =
Ent, and your unit has auxiliary outputs.  For more information on events see
Chapter 6.

Range:  

On or OFF

Default:  

OFF

Prog   (no)

Ent1

Operation Menu

In the Operation menu, the 942 operates as a digital set point control.  Select a set
point and the 942 attains that value on a non-linear ramp.  If your unit has auxiliary
outputs programmed as events, they can be selected as ON or OFF.  All outputs
are turned OFF when set point is set to OFF.
