Introduction
The PROV
control applications. Its superluminous LED digits make it easily readable in smoke, dust, fog,
and, with the optional SunBright® display, even direct sunlight. It accepts current and voltage
signals (e.g. 4-20 mA, 0-10 V). Three of the front panel buttons can be custom-programmed for
specific operation.
The basic model includes an isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply that can be used to power
the input transmitter or other devices. An additional isolated 24 VDC power supply is included
with the 4-20 mA output option. A digital input, F4, is standard.
A fully loaded PD6200 rate/totalizer meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output, and
two 24 VDC power supplies. The PD6200 capabilities may be enhanced by adding the following
external expansion modules: four SPST relays (creating an eight-relay rate/totalizer), two digital I/O
modules with four inputs and four outputs each, and USB, RS-232 or RS-485 communication
adapters.
The eight relays can be used for alarm indication or process control applications. The 4-20 mA
isolated output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and digital I/O options make the PD6200 an
excellent addition to any system.

Switching Inductive Loads
The use of suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching inductive loads to prevent
disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of the relay contacts.
Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased
as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC network assembly and installation:

Interlock Relay Feature
As the name implies, the interlock relay feature reassigns one, or more, alarm/control relays for use as
interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are wired to digital input(s) and trigger the interlock relay. This
feature is enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page 38). In one example, dry
interlock contacts are connected in series to one digital input which will be used to force on (energize) the
assigned interlock power relay when all interlock contacts are closed (safe). The interlock relay front
panel LED flashes when locked out. The interlock relay would be wired in-series with the load (N/O
contact). See below.
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in
milliamps and volts depending on the input selection. The
calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.

PROVU PD6200 Analog Input Rate/Totalizer Instruction Manual
Programming the Rate/Totalizer (prog)
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding to program the meter:
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in milliamps and volts depending on the input
selection. The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Use the Scale menu to scale process inputs (e.g. 4-20 mA). A calibrated signal source is not needed
to scale the meter.
Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a calibrator or a flowmeter.
The Program menu contains the following menus:
1. Scale without a signal source
2. Calibrate with a calibrated signal source
3. Total time base & conversion factor
4. Grand total time base & conversion factor
5. Total reset mode for total & grand total
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last function
programmed. Only one of these methods can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate functions
can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of points should be set in the Advanced menu under
the Multi-Point Linearization (Linear) menu selection prior to scaling and calibration of the meter, see
page 45 for details.
The process input may be calibrated or scaled to any display value within the range of the meter.
Additional parameters, not needed for most applications, are programmed in the Advanced Features
menu; see Advanced Features Menu, page 42.
Multi-Point Calibration & Scaling
The meter is set up at the factory for 2-point linear calibration. The number of points for multi-point
calibration/scaling is set up in the AdvancedFeatures menu. Up to 32 linearization points may be
selected. See page 45 for details.
on page 5 for details.
Input Calibration Method (InCAL)
There are two methods of calibrating (or scaling) the display to show the correct engineering units.
Use the Scale menu to enter the scaling without a signal source.
Use the Calibrate menu to apply a signal from a signal source.
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last function
programmed. Only one of these methods can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate functions
can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of points should be set in Scale and Calibrate
accordingly under the Number of Points (nopts) menu
selection prior to scaling and calibration of the meter, see
page 45 for details.
The process inputs (4-20 mA and 10 VDC) can be scaled to display the process variable in engineering
units.
A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display
values.
For instructions on how to program numeric
values see Setting Numeric Values, page 21.
Error Message (Error)
An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful.
After the error message is displayed, the meter reverts to the input prior to the failure during calibration or
scaling and to input 1 during internal calibration, allowing the appropriate input signal to be applied or
programmed.
The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals or it is connected backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.
4. Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate input 2.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete
the calibration or scaling of the meter.
Input range Input 1 & input 2 span
4-20 mA 0.15 mA
10 VDC
0.01 VDC
Calibrating the Meter with External Source (Cal)
The meter can be calibrated to display the process variable in engineering units by applying the
appropriate input signal and following the calibration procedure.
The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended to calibrate the meter.
PROVU PD6200 Analog Input Rate/Totalizer Instruction Manual
Time Base, Total Conversion Factor & Total Reset
The time base, total conversion factor, and total reset menus are located in the Program menu.
The total and grand total have their own independent settings. This means that one can be displaying the
value in gallons while the other displays in million gallons, liters, m
Time Base
The time base is the amount of time over which the rate parameter should accrue. For example, if the
rate was ten and the time base was in minutes, then the total would increase by ten every one minute.
Total & Grand Total Conversion Factor
The total & grand total conversion factor is the amount by which the rate is multiplied before it is added to
the total or grand total. For Example, if the rate was ten per second and the total conversion factor was
100, the total would increase by 1000 every second. This is useful, for instance, if you want to show rate
in gallons and total in thousands of gallons.

, etc.
Total & Grand Total Reset
The totals can be programmed for manual or automatic reset. In the automatic reset mode, a
programmable time delay is available to reset the total or grand total after the assigned preset is reached.
Non-Resettable Totalizer
The total and grand total can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized resets. The grand total can
be programmed as a non-resettable total, see page 40 for details.

Relay Operation Details
Overview
The relay capabilities of the meter expand its usefulness beyond simple indication to provide users with
alarm and control functions. These capabilities include front panel alarm status LEDs as well as either 2
or 4 optional internal relays and/or 4 external relays expansion module. Typical applications include high
or low temperature, level, pressure or flow alarms, control applications such as simple on/off pump
control, pump alternation control for up to 8 pumps, and basic batch control. There are four basic ways
the relays can be used:
1. High or Low Alarms with Latching or Non-Latching Relays
2. Simple On/Off Control with 100% Adjustable Deadband
3. Sampling (Based on Time)
4. Pump Alternation Control for up to 8 Pumps
Relays Auto Initialization
When power is applied to the
meter, the front panel LEDs and
alarm relays will reflect the state of
the input to the meter. The
following table indicates how the
alarm LEDs and relays will react on
power-up based on the set and
reset points:
Alarm #
1 HI 1000 500 499 Off
2 LO 700 900 499 On
3 LO 250 400 499 Off
4 HI 450 200 499 On
Fail-Safe Operation
The following table indicates
how the relays behave based
on the fail-safe selection for
each relay:
Note: NO = Normally Open,
NC = Normally Closed. This
refers to the condition of the
relay contacts when the power to the meter is off.
Fail-Safe
Selection
Off Open Closed Closed Open
On Closed Open Open Closed
Front Panel LEDs
The LEDs on the front panel provide status indication for the following:
The meter is supplied with four alarm points that include front
panel LEDs to indicate alarm conditions. This standard feature
is particularly useful for alarm applications that require visualonly indication. The LEDs are controlled by the set and reset
points programmed by the user. When the display reaches a
set point for a high or low alarm, the corresponding alarm LED will turn on. When the display returns to
the reset point the LED will go off. The front panel LEDs respond differently for latching and non-latching
relays.
For non-latching relays, the LED is always off during normal condition and always on during alarm
condition, regardless of the state of the relay (e.g. Relay acknowledged after alarm condition).
For latching relays, the alarm LEDs reflect the status of the relays, regardless of the alarm condition. The
following tables illustrate how the alarm LEDs function in relation to the relays and the acknowledge
button (Default: F3 key assigned to ACK):
The relays can be set up for latching (manual reset) or
non-latching (automatic reset) operation.
The On and Off terminology does not refer to the status of
the relay’s coil, which depends on the fail-safe mode
selected.
In latching relay mode, latched relays will reset

Relay terminology for following tables
Terminology Relay Condition
Non-Latching Relay (Auto)
In this application, the meter is set up for automatic reset
(non-latching relay). Acknowledging the alarm while it is still
present has no effect on either the LED or the relay. When
the alarm finally goes away, the relay automatically resets
and the LED also goes off.
Condition LED Relay
Normal Off Off
Alarm On On
Ack (No effect) On On
Normal Off Off
Non-Latching Relay (A-nman)
In this application, the meter is set up for automatic and
manual reset at any time (non-latching relay). The LED and
the relay automatically reset when the meter returns to the
normal condition.
The next time an alarm occurs, the operator acknowledges
the alarm manually while the alarm condition still exists.
This causes the relay to reset, but the LED stays on until
the meter returns to the normal condition.
Automatic + manual reset at any time
Condition LED Relay
Normal Off Off

Normal Off Off
Next Alarm On On
Ack On Off

Latching Relay (LatcH)
In this application, the meter is set up for manual reset at any
time. Acknowledging the alarm even if the alarm condition is
still present resets the relay and turns off the LED.
Condition LED Relay
Normal Off Off
Alarm On On
Ack Off Off
Latching Relay (Lt-Clr)
In this application, the meter is set up for manual reset only after the
signal passes the reset point (alarm condition has cleared).
Acknowledging the alarm while it is still present has no effect on
either the LED or the relay. When the alarm is acknowledged after it
returns to the normal state, the LED and the relay go off. Notice that
the LED remains on, even after the meter returns to the normal
condition. This is because, for latching relays, the alarm LED reflects
the status of the relay, regardless of the alarm condition.

Acknowledging Relays
There are two ways to acknowledge relays programmed for manual reset:
1. Via the programmable front panel function keys F1-F3 (Default:
F3 assigned to ACK).
2. Remotely via a normally open pushbutton wired across one of the digital inputs and the +5 V
terminals on the digital I/O modules, or using the F4 digital input, which is triggered with a contact
closure to COM, or with an active low signal (see page 15).
When the ACK button or the assigned digital input is closed, all relays programmed for manual reset are
acknowledged.

Pump Alternation Control Applications (Altern)
For pump control applications where two or more similar pumps are used to control the level of a tank or a
well, it is desirable to have all the pumps operate alternately. This prevents excessive wear and
overheating of one pump over the lack of use of the other pumps.
Up to 8 relays can be set up to alternate every time an on/off pump cycle is completed. The set points
and reset points can be programmed, so that the first pump on is the first pump off.
Application #1: Pump Alternation Using Relays 1 & 2
1. Relays 1 and 2 are set up for pump alternation.
2. Relays 3 and 4 are set up for low and high alarm indication.
1. Pump #1 turns on when level reaches 30.000, when level drops below 10.000 pump #1 turns off.
2. The next time level reaches 30.000, pump #2 turns on, when level drops below 10.000, pump #2
turns off.
3. If the level doesn’t reach 35.000, pump #1 and pump #2 will be operating alternately.
4. If pump #1 cannot keep the level below 35.000, pump #2 will turn on at 35.000, then as the level
drops to 10.000, pump #1 turns off, pump #2 is still running and shuts off below 5.000.
5. Notice that with the set and reset points of pump #2 outside the range of pump #1, the first pump on
is the first pump to go off. This is true for up to 8 alternating pumps, if setup accordingly.
6. Relay #3 will go into alarm if the level drops below 4.000 and relay #4 will go into alarm if the level
exceeds 40.000.
7. Adding the 4 external relays expansion module allows using the 4 SPDT internal relays for pump
alternation and the 4 SPST external relays for high, high-high, low, and low-low alarm indication.

Setting Up the Interlock Relay (Force On) Feature
Relays 1-4 can be set up as interlock relays. To set up the relays for the interlock feature:
1. Access the Setup – Relay – Action menu and set the action to off.
2. In the Advanced features – User menu program any of the digital inputs to Force On any of the
internal relays (1-4).
3. Connect a switch or dry contact between the +5V terminal and the corresponding digital input (dI-1 to
dI-4) terminal.

Interlock Relay Operation Example
Relays 1 & 2 are configured to energize (their front panel LEDs are off) when SW1 & SW2 switches
(above) are closed. If the contacts to these digital inputs are opened, the corresponding front panel LEDs
flash indicating this condition. The processes being controlled by the interlock relay will stop, and will restart only after the interlock relay is re-activated by the digital inputs (switches).
Note: If multiple digital inputs are assigned to the same relay, then the corresponding logic is (AND) – i.e.
both switches must be closed to trip the relay.
The 4-20 mA analog output can be scaled to provide a 4-20 mA signal for any display range selected.
No equipment is needed to scale the analog output; simply program the display values to the
corresponding mA output signal.
The Analog Output menu is used to program the 4-20 mA output based on display values.
For instructions on how to
program numeric values
see Setting Numeric
Values, page 21.
Reset Menu (reset)
The Reset menu is used to reset the totals and maximum or minimum reading (peak or valley) reached by
the process; both may be reset at the same time by selecting “reset high & low” (rst HL). If total is set
to no, the tare value used to zero the display may be reset by selecting “reset tare” (rst tr).
Control Menu (Contrl)
The Control menu is used to control the 4-20 mA analog output and the relays manually, ignoring the
input. Each relay and analog output can be programmed independently for manual control. Selecting
automatic control sets all relays and analog output for automatic operation.

Setting Up the Password (pass)
The Password menu is used for programming three levels of security to prevent unauthorized changes to
the programmed parameter settings and to program the non-resettable totalizer.
Pass 1: Allows use of function keys and digital inputs
Pass 2: Allows use of function keys, digital inputs and editing set/reset points
Pass 3: Restricts all programming, function keys, and digital inputs.
Total: Prevents resetting the total manually
Gtotal: Prevents resetting the grand total manually
Protecting or Locking the Meter
Enter the Password menu and program a six-digit password.
For instructions on how to program numeric values see Setting Numeric Values, page 21.
Total Reset Password & Non-Resettable Total
The total and the grand total can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized total resets.
The grand total can be programmed as a non-resettable total by entering the password “050873”.
!
Caution!
Once the Grand Total has been programmed as
“non-resettable” the feature cannot be disabled.
If the meter is password protected, the meter will display the message Locd (Locked) when the Menu
button is pressed. Press the Enter button while the message is being displayed and enter the correct
password to gain access the menu. After exiting the programming mode, the meter returns to its
password protected condition.
Disabling Password Protection
To disable the password protection, access the Password menu and enter the correct password twice, as
shown below. The meter is now unprotected until a new password is entered.
If the correct six-digit password is entered, the meter displays the message unLoc (unlocked) and the
protection is disabled until a new password is programmed.
If the password entered is incorrect, the meter displays the message Locd (Locked) for about two
seconds, and then it returns to Run Mode. To try again, press Enter while the Locked message is
displayed.
Did you forget the password?
The password may be disabled by entering a master
password once. If you are authorized to make changes,
enter the master password 508655 to unlock the meter.

Noise Filter (filter)
The noise filter is available for unusually noisy signals that cause an unstable process variable display.
The noise filter averages the input signal over a certain period. The filter level determines the length of
time over which the signal is averaged. The filter level can be set between 2 and 199. The higher the filter
level, the longer the averaging time and so the longer it takes the display to settle to its final value. Setting
the filter level to zero disables the filter function.
Noise Filter Bypass (bypass)
The noise filter bypass changes the behavior of the meter so that small variations in the signal are filtered
out but large abrupt changes in the input signal are displayed immediately. The bypass value determines
the minimum amount of signal change to be displayed immediately. All signal changes smaller than the
bypass value are filtered or averaged by the meter. The noise filter bypass may be set between 0.1 and
PROVU PD6200 Analog Input Rate/Totalizer Instruction Manual
Rounding Feature (round)
The rounding feature is used to give the user a steadier display with fluctuating signals. Rounding is used
in addition to the filter function.
Rounding causes the display to round to the nearest value according the rounding selected. See
examples below:

Modbus Register Tables
When using more than one meter in a multi-drop mode, each meter must be provided with its own unique
address. The meter address (Slave ID) may be programmed between 1 and 247. The transmit delay may
be set between 0 and 199 ms. The parity can be set to even, odd, or none with 1 or 2 stop bits.
The Select menu is used to select the signal input conditioner applied to the input (linear, square root,
programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank), low-flow cutoff, and analog output programming. The
multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection.
Signal Input Conditioning (Functn)
The Function menu is used to select the signal input conditioner applied to the input: linear, square root,
programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank volume calculation. The multi-point linearization is part
of the linear function selection.
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. The linear function provides a
display that is linear with respect to the input signal.
Multi-Point Linearization (Linear)
Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization. Up to 32 linearization points
can be selected under the linear function.
for non-linear signals such as those from level transmitters used to measure volume in odd-shaped tanks
or to convert level to flow using weirs and flumes with complex exponent.
Square Root Linearization (Square)
The square root function can be used to linearize the signal from a differential pressure transmitter and
display flow rate in engineering units.
Programmable Exponent Linearization (Prog E)
The programmable exponent can be used to linearize the signal from level transmitters in open-channel
flow applications using weirs and flumes.
The multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display
PROVU PD6200 Analog Input Rate/Totalizer Instruction Manual
Round Horizontal Tank Linearization (rHt)
This function automatically calculates the volume in a round horizontal tank with flat ends. This function is
only used when Total is set to no.
Set the display for the desired decimal point and engineering units before entering the round horizontal
tank function. Select units, inches or cm for the tank dimension. Enter the diameter and the length in
inches and the results are given in US gallons.
The meter can be scaled to display the volume in any engineering unit.
Note: After Scale is displayed continue pressing the Enter button until the meter completes the scaling of
the input and display values.
Changing the Volume from Gallons to Liters
In the above graphic, entering the 48" for the diameter and 120" for the length of the round horizontal
tank, the meter automatically calculates that the volume of the tank is 940.02 gallons.
1. Convert gallons to liters
1 US gallon = 3.7854 L
940.02 gal = 3558.4 L
2. Go to the Setup menu and change the decimal point to 1 decimal.
3. Go to the Program – Scale menu and press Enter until dis 2 is shown on the main display.
4. Press Enter and change the display 2 value to 3558.4.
5. The meter is now displaying the volume in liters.
Note: The display can be scaled to display the volume in any engineering units.
Low-Flow Cutoff (CutofF)
The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often-unsteady output from a
differential pressure transmitter, at low flow rates, always displays zero on the meter.
The cutoff value may be programmed from 0 to 999999. The meter will display zero below the cutoff
value. Programming the cutoff value to zero disables the cutoff feature.
Totalizer Count Up/Down (Count)
The totalizer count up/down menu may be used to program the total and grand total to either count up
from 0 when reset or count down from a programmed value when reset. Total and grand total may have
their countdown numbers programmed individually from 0 to 999999.
The Analog Output Programming menu is used to program the behavior of the 4-20 mA output. The
following parameters and functions are programmed in this menu:
1. Source: Source for generating the 4-20 mA output (e.g. PV)
2. Overrange: Analog output value with display in overrange condition
3. Underrange: Analog output value with display in underrange condition
4. Break: Analog output value when loop break is detected
5. Max: Maximum analog output value allowed regardless of input
6. Min: Minimum analog output value allowed regardless of input
7. Calibrate: Calibrate the internal 4-20 mA source reference used to scale the 4-20 mA output
Analog Output Source
The source for generating the 4-20 mA output may be assigned to the rate/process variable, total, grand
total, maximum or minimum value reached by the rate/process, or one of the set points, or the Modbus
PV input.
Analog Output Calibration
To perform the analog output calibration, it’s recommended to use a milliamp meter with a resolution of at
least 0.1 µA to measure the output current. The values saved internally during this procedure are used for
scaling the 4-20 mA output in the Setup menu.
Programmable Function Keys User Menu (user)
The User menu allows the user to assign the front panel function keys F1, F2, and F3, the digital input F4
(a digital input located on the signal input connector), and up to eight additional digital inputs to access
most of the menus or to activate certain functions immediately (e.g. reset max & min, hold relay states,
etc.). This allows the meter to be greatly customized for use in specialized applications.
Up to eight digital outputs can be assigned to a number of actions and functions executed by the meter
(i.e. alarms, relay acknowledgement, reset max, min, or max & min, tare, and reset tare). The digital
outputs can be used to trigger external alarms or lights to indicate these specific events.

The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in milliamps and volts, depending on the input
selection. The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
The use of calibrated signal sources is necessary to calibrate the internal source of the meter. The
meter’s internal source is what allows the user to scale the meter without applying a signal.
Check calibration of the meter at least every 12 months. Each input must be recalibrated separately.
Notes:
1. If meter is in operation and it is intended to accept only one input type (e.g. 4-20 mA), recalibration
of other input is not necessary.
2. Allow the meter to warm up for at least 15 minutes before performing the internal source calibration
procedure.
The Internalcalibration menu is part of the Advanced Features menu.
1. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds to access the advanced features of the meter.
2. Press the Up arrow button to scroll to the Internal calibration menu (ICAL) and press Enter.
3. The meter displays either current calibration (C CAL) or voltage calibration (v CAL), according to the
input setup. Press Enter to start the calibration process.
Example of Internal Calibration for current input:
4. The meter displays low input current message (C lo). Apply the low input signal and press Enter. The
display flashes for a moment while the meter is accepting the low input signal.
5. After the display stops flashing, a number is displayed with the leftmost digit brighter than the rest.
The bright digit is the active digit that can be changed by pressing the Up arrow button. Press the
Right arrow button to move to the next digit.
6. Set the display value to correspond to the input signal being calibrated, typically 4.000 mA.
7. The display moves to the high input calibration (C Hi). Apply the high input signal and press Enter.
8. Set the display for the high input calibration, in
the same way as it was set for the low input
calibration, typically 20.000 mA.
The graphic shows the calibration of the current
input. The voltage input is calibrated in a similar
way.
Tips:
Low and high input signals can be any valid
values within the range of the meter.
Observe minimum input span requirements
between input 1 and input 2.
Low input should be less than high input signal.
Error Message (Error)
An error message indicates that the calibration or scaling process was not successful.
After the error message is displayed, the meter reverts to the input prior to the failure during calibration or
scaling and to input 1 during internal calibration, allowing the appropriate input signal to be applied or
programmed.
The error message might be caused by any of the following conditions:
1. Input signal is not connected to the proper terminals or it is connected backwards.
2. Wrong signal selection in Setup menu.
3. Minimum input span requirements not maintained.
Input 1 signal inadvertently applied to calibrate input 2.
Minimum Input Span
The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input
1 and input 2 signals required to complete the calibration or scaling
of the meter.
Input range Input 1 & input 2 span
4-20 mA 0.15 mA
PROVU PD6200 Analog Input Rate/Totalizer Instruction Manual
Meter Operation
The meter is capable of accepting current (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) and 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).
The dual-line display can be customized by the user to operate in such a way as to satisfy a specific
application. Typically, the main display is used for the process variable; while the second display is used
for engineering units, custom legend, total, grand total, or set point indication.
The meter can be set up to display the analog input on the main display and the Modbus input on the
second display. The relays and analog output can be programmed to operate from the Modbus PV input.

programmed in the Advanced Features – User menu.
The table above shows the factory default settings for F1, F2, and F3.
F4 Operation
A digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This digital input is programmed identically to function keys
F1, F2, and F3. The input is triggered with a contact closure to COM, or with an active low signal. During
operation, F4 operates according to the way it has been programmed in the Advanced Features – User
menu.
Maximum/Minimum Readings
The max & min readings (peak & valley) reached by the process can be displayed either continuously or
momentary:
1. Display briefly by assigning to the F1-F3 function keys or to the digital inputs in the User menu.
2. Display continuously by assigning either display to max/min through the Display menu.
Any of the F1-F3 function keys (buttons) and the digital inputs can be programmed to reset the max & min
readings. The meters are set at the factory to display the max reading by pressing the Up arrow/F2 button
and to use the Right arrow/F1 button to access the Reset menu.
To display max reading using function key with factory defaults:
1. Press Up arrow/F2 button to display
maximum reading since the last
reset/power-up.
2. To reset max/min press Right arrow/F1
button to access the Reset menu. The max & min
displays are reset to actual values.
3. Press Menu to exit max/min display reading.
To display max/min readings continuously:
Assign either display to Max (d Hi), Min (d Lo), or toggle
between Max and Min (d HL) every 10 seconds.
