*Access Modes

The LPD has several operang modes which will limit or lock access to the setup menus.

Refer to the mode descripons at the boom of the page for more informaon. To

access the operang mode seng, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Simultaneously press and hold the Decrease buon and the Enter buon for

approximately 5 seconds to bring up the *3 digit mode access number.

Step 2: Use the Increase/Decrease buons to change the value of the ashing digit,

and Enter buon to accept the value and advance to the next digit. The mode

opons are as follows:

Mode Descripon

000 Full Access. All menu opons are accessible, including those that

may not be applicable to all LPD conguraons.

001 Locks access to all setup menus. The Decrease/Power Buon will

turn on/o the display. The Enter buon will scroll between the

maximum, minimum and the current reading.

005 All menus are hidden and all buons are lock, except the Decrease/

Power buon, which will power on/o the LPD.

125 Entering Mode 125 will reset all parameters to factory defaults.

• AdVSET (Advanced Sengs)

dEC PL (Decimal Place): denes the decimal point posion within the reading.

MASK (Digit Mask): allows the user to mask the value of the least signicant digit(s), up

to 3 places, so that masked digit(s) will always display 0 and will not increment.

SHIFT (Digit Shi): allows the user to shi the reading to the right by dividing the

reading by 10, 100, or 1000.

V HOLd (Value Hold): limits the displayed reading to values of the 4mA and 20mA set

points. When enabled, the display will stop increasing/decreasing at the set points even

if the loop current is less than 4mA or greater than 20mA.

bAR 0 (Bar Graph 0%) dene the readings associated with 0% on the display bar graph.

Bars will appear/disappear in 10% increments of the total span.

bAR100 (Bar Graph 100%): dene the readings associated with 100% on the display bar

graph. Bars will appear/disappear in 10% increments of the total span.

OVR-Ld (Overload): causes the display to ash if the reading increases above the set

value.

UNd-Ld (Under-load): causes the display to ash if the reading drops below the set

value.

PASSWd (Password): sets the password required to enter the access mode seng. If

the password is set to 10AAAA, then no password will be required to enter the access

modes (see page 6 for informaon on the access modes).

• SENLAb (Sensor Labels)

Allows the user to assign 2 custom labels that will alternate on the lower display line.

If only 1 non-alternang label is desired, duplicate the label name in both Label 1 and

Label 2.

• INPUT (Analog Input)

Used to adjust how the LPD reads the analog input signal.

AVERGE: determines how many readings of the analog signal will be averaged together

to become the displayed reading. A higher average seng will result in smoother

readings but will also cause slower response to rapid changes in the input signal.

SAM RT: determines how oen the LPD reads the 4-20mA input signal.

4 SET (4mA Set-point): sets the reading to be associated with a 4mA input signal.

20 SET (20mA Set-point): sets the reading associated with a 20mA input signal.

4 CAL (4mA Calibraon): adjusts the reading at the 4mA end of the input signal.

Decreasing the calibraon value will cause an increase in the reading with an input of

4mA.

20 CAL (20mA Calibraon): adjusts the reading at the 20mA end of the input signal.

Increasing the calibraon value will cause an increase in the reading with an input of

20mA.

• dEFAULT (Reset to Factory Defaults)

Resets all sengs back to factory default values, including the factory 4 mA and 20 mA

calibraon values.
