METER OPERATION
The meter is capable of accepting two input channels (A and B) of either
current (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) or voltage signals (0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V,
10 V) and displaying these signals in engineering units from -99999 to
999999 (
e.g.
a 4-20 mA signal could be displayed as -50.000 to
50.000).
A math function channel (C) is available to perform operations on
channel A and B, with adder and factor constants, and display the
results. Engineering units or tags may be displayed with these three
channels.
The dual-line display can be customized by the user. Typically the upper
display is used to display the math channel C, while the lower display is
used to alternate between displaying input channels A and B.
Additionally the meter can be set up to display any input or math
channel on the upper display and a unit or tag on the lower display. The
relays and analog output can be programmed to operate based on any
input or math channel.
