• AdVSET (Advanced Se ngs)

AUTO (Auto Off ): The Auto-Off feature will automa cally power off the MND whenever

no bu ons are pressed within the specifi ed  me frame. The minimum Auto-Off  me is

15 seconds. To disable the Auto-Off feature, set the value to 65535 (default).

NOTE: the Auto-Off cannot be set to less than the relay “On Time” se ng when using

the Timed Relay op on (see Outputs).

dEC PL (Decimal Place): defi nes where the decimal point will be displayed within the

reading.

NOTE: most APG sensors have the ability to set the number of decimal places of the

readings being sent to the MND. Refer to the sensor manual for more informa on.

MASK (Digit Mask): allows the user to mask the value of the least signifi 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.

MLTPLR (Mul plier): allows the user to apply a conversion mul plier to the sensor

readings. For example, a mul plier se ng of 2.0 will double the reading received from

the sensor.

NOTE: most APG sensors have the capability to apply a conversion mul plier to the

reading before the value it is sent to the MND.

bAR 0 (Bar Graph 0%) & bAR100 (Bar Graph 100%): defi ne the readings associated

with 0% and 100% on the display bar graph. Bars will appear/disappear in 10%

increments of the total span.

NOTE: the bar graph limits will be applied to all sensor readings when mul ple sensor

are being displayed, and cannot be set individually for each sensor.
