When the calibration procedure begins ---- appears on the screen. Once Calibration is complete
donE appears on screen. If there are any Faults with the calibration an error message will appear
either Er_r or Er_C.
Er_C means the low calibration will fail if the offset is less than -10mV or greater than +10mV. This
signifies potential faulty sensors or the high calibration will fail if the count value is less than +20mV
or greater than +50mV. This signifies potential faulty sensors
Er_r means the high calibration will fail if the mV value is within 10mV of the low
calibration value. This is a potential RCAL failure.

Setup Mode
This mode is normally selected only after Configuration Mode has been completed, or
is used when a change to the process set up is required. These parameters must be
set as required before attempting to use the indicator in an application.

1/8 Din Indicator Units Display

The 1480 1/8 Din indicator has an additional Units Display. In Operator Mode, this display shows
°C or °F when a temperature input range is displayed, and is blank for strain gauge or linear
inputs.
The units display is also used in other modes as a confirmation of the parameter type currently
shown in the main display.

5 Alarm Indications

The alarm status screen indicates any active alarms, in addition the associated Alarm LED flashes.
For latching alarm outputs, the LED FLASHES when the alarm condition exists, and goes to ON
when the alarm condition is no longer present if the output has not yet been reset, to indicate
that the relay is in the Latched on condition.

Latched outputs can be reset whilst the Process variable or Alarm Status screens are
displayed, via the Digital Input (if fitted), from the front keypad as follows:

Press either or to reset the latched relay(s).

Note:
Outputs will only reset if their alarm condition is no longer present.
CAUTION:
A reset will affect ALL latched outputs.

5.2 Resetting Alarm 1 Active Time, Minimum PV or Maximum PV

The stored Maximum PV value, Minimum PV value or Alarm 1 active Elapsed Time value can be
reset via the Digital Input (if fitted), with a communications command via the RS485 module
(if fitted) or from the front keypad as follows:

Multi-Point Scaling
When Multi-Point Scaling is enabled (MPS = EnAb in Configuration Mode), up to 9 breakpoints can
be set to linearize the input signal. This only applies to mA, mV or Voltage input types.
For each breakpoint the input scale value (ScAn) is entered in % of input span, followed by the value
to be shown (diSn) in display units. Each breakpoint’s input scale value must be higher than the
previous value, but the display values can be either higher or lower. Any scale value set to 100%
becomes the last in the series.
6 Tare Feature
When Tare is enabled (tArE = EnAb in Configuration Mode), it can be used to set the displayed value
to zero automatically, by making the PV Offset parameter equal, but opposite to, the current process
variable value. Tare can be initiated via the Digital Input (if fitted), or by using the following key press
sequence:
Press until the process variable is displayed.
Hold down and together for three seconds until the display shows YES?
