4.4.4 Channel On?
The Channel On? entry determines if this channel is to be utilized. Turning it off will cause the controller
to never process inputs applied to this channel and no alarms will be tripped or data displayed. Inactive
channels will be grayed out on the Main Data screen and skipped when scrolling through the 30 Minute
Trend screens. Channels may be turned off in groups of 8. This is done in the System Setup menu.
4.4.5 Zone
The ZONE feature allows assigning of channels into up to eight possible Zones. This is useful for
applications that may need all like gases or inputs from a certain area to be grouped together. Once the
channels are assigned to a certain group, relays can be configured to respond to only the channels in this
Zone.
4.4.6 Deadband
Deadband allows forcing low values to continue to read zero. This is useful when there are small amounts
of background gases that cause fluctuating readouts above zero. The highest amount of deadband allowed
is 5%. The 4-20mA output is affected by this menu item and will remain at 4mA until the input gets above
the programmed deadband level.
4.4.7 Copy to Channel
This menu simplifies the Setup procedure by allowing similar channels to be copied from one to another.
For example, if some channels are identical except for the Measurement Name entry, one channel could
be configured and copied to the other channels that are the same. Only Measurement Name then must
be configured on the copied channels. Use Edit, Up and Down to select channel numbers and Edit once
more to copy.
4.4.8 Copy to Group
This menu simplifies the Setup procedure by allowing one channel to be copied to a whole group of
channels. For example, if some groups of 4 channels are identical except for the Measurement Name
entry; one channel could be configured and copied to the whole group at one time. Only Measurement
Name then must be configured on the copied channels. Use Edit, Up and Down to select the group to be
copied then point to Copy Now? Press Edit once more to copy.
4.4.9 Restore Ch. Defaults
This menu allows the user to reset a specific channel to factory defaults without affecting any other
channels. This is useful if a channel must be changed to a different input. All channel configuration will be
reset and the user can configure the new parameters from the factory defaults. A confirming dialog box
will appear before the channel is reset protecting against an accidental restore.
