Engineering units such as pressure, flow, temperature and level can be displayed. It has an adjustable, 5-24V dc (50mA) excitation supply for powering transmitters and active transducers without the need for an external supply. User calibration is performed by adjusting DIP switches and multi-turn potentiometers to choose the input format and set the corresponding display values. **==> picture [185 x 22] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

NOTE
If your display is for example 0 - 35.0, then the
number of counts (R2) is still 350 for the calculations in
step5 below.|||||||||||||||| |**5**|For your chosen display range, apply the formulae from
the list below, for your chosen input format. For example,
for a 4-20mA input and display range of -100 to 500, the
lower reading R1 = -100 (at 4mA) and the upper reading
R2 = 500 (at 20mA).
Note:the offsetfigure (OF) can have anegativevalue.
