Functions Available
Note: Some of the functions described in this chapter are available
only when the instrument is powered up in CAL mode. See “Setting Up the
RM6-IV”,page10,fordetailsofthismode.Someofthesefunctionsareonly
seen when USER input mode and some when in the standard voltage or
currentselectioninputmode.See the function tables and detailsin“Setting
Up the RM6-IV”.
Two measuring modes are available. These are:
Standard mode - This mode is indicated by Stnd on the display.
Use this mode for linear measurement applications.
Squarerootmode-ThismodeisindicatedbySqRt onthedisplay.
Use this mode when the square root facility is required in the measurement
being made.
These modes are chosen under the “Select” (SLCt) function. The
mode chosen determines how the sensor inputs (input (I NPt) function)
will be interpreted by the instrument. See “Setting Up The RM6-IV” chapter
for full details and set up procedure for each mode and function.
Brief Description of Functions:
Alarm/Control relay functions - Two Alarm/Control relays are
provided, each one can be adjusted to change the low setpoint (A1Lo and
A2Lo), the high setpoint (A1Hi and A2Hi), the hysteresis or deadband
(A1HY and A2HY), the trip time (A1tt and A2tt) additionally each can
be set to operate as normally open (A1n.o and A2n.o) or normally closed
(A1n.c and A2n.c). (Note: DIP Switch 2 is used to select alarm 2
operation, refer to page 5).
Retransmission output - The recorder output or analog
retransmissionoutputisset at4-20mA. ThefunctionsREC_ andREC~ set
the display values at which 4 and 20mA are transmitted respectively.
Digital filter (FLtr) - allows the user to alter the input filter level
from 0 to 8, this is a weighted averaging type of filter and is used when the
instrument is functioning with inputs carrying electrical “noise”. The highest
setting will give the highest filter level (i.e. it will filter out higher levels of
noise) but it will also give the slowest display response time. Thus a setting
of 8 will give a higher filter level than a setting of 5, but the setting of 5 will
give a faster display response. Choose a level which is just high enough to
filter out the noise present to ensure optimum response time. A setting of 3
is standard.
Display brightness (brgt) - allows the setting of the display
brightness level from 0 to 15, where 15 is the highest brightness level.
Decimalpoint(dCpt)-allowstheusertoalter theplacementof the
decimal point. Displays such as 294.3,29.43 etc. may be set.
