Setting Temperature Units
Temperature units can be set on the main temperature panel by pressing °C or °F.

Setting Output Processing
The temperature range for the 4 to 20 mA output, the averaging period and the peak/
valley hold processing can be set by using the main program menu to select:
[Setup] → [Output Processing]
The temperatures corresponding to 4 and 20 mA can then be set (minimum –40°C,
maximum 1000°C, minimum span 100°C, maximum span 1000°C).
To minimise the the effects of temperature fluctuations, noise etc on the output
signal, the averaging period can be set between 0 and 60 seconds.
If required, Hold Processing can be applied by setting hold mode to Peak Hold or
Valley Hold and setting a hold period between 0 and 1200 seconds.
