Setting a Multiplication Factor
For convenience, it is possible to leave a channel setup one way and merely multiply the display value by
some factor and replace the display with the new value. An example might be to set up a channel to read
from z ero to one hundred percent and use a multiplication factor to make the display read from zero to
500 SCCM. An infinite number of possibilities are possible.

menu has been selected, press
the number
7

factor and press
ENTER
. The display returns to normal with the selected chan nel now displaying the
product of the normally displayed value and the entered factor.
