2. Auxiliary Reading The Auxiliary Reading area of the LCD is useful for displaying parameter values while leaving the primary reading on the screen Note The parameters that can be shown in the auxiliary reading field are those indexed as global by transducer or by level point Setting the Default Auxiliary Reading To see the same variable in the auxiliary reading area all the time set up the default For example if you want to leave the level reading on the screen and view the echo confidence in the auxiliary reading field you would program the following parameter Parameter Index Value Description P730 G 805 Auxiliary field defaults to P805 PL 600 EnviroRanger User Guide Page 15 Setting a Specific Auxiliary Reading You can set up a second auxiliary reading that is displayed when you press Es in run mode For example if you want to view the current temperature when you press the E key program the following parameter Parameter Index Value Description P731 G 912 Shows P912 Transducer Temperature Multiple Readings During differential or average Operation P001 4 or 5 the display 2 scrolls sequentially through Point Numbers 1 2 and 3 Point Number 3 F represents the difference between or average of Point Numbers 1 and 2 faa E To change the speed at which the numbers scroll Parameter Index Value Description E P732 G 5 Hold each value for 5 seconds E Optional Features

4. The EnviroRanger comes as a base unit with many different optional features available These optional features change the way that parameters are indexed For example when the Dual Point feature is added to the base unit then all transducer related parameters become indexed by two rather than one So P004 becomes indexed by two rather than global for the unit Likewise when a discrete input option card is installed P500 changes from being indexed by 8 to being indexed by 16 Sometimes the addition of an optional feature will create a primary index where one did not exist previously If you look for the mark icon on the LCD you can tell whether you are changing a primary or secondary index For example when the Dual Point feature is added to the base unit then all OCM characterization curves change from one index to two indexes In this case the primary index is the transducer and the second index is the characterization breakpoints See Parameter Indexing on page 18 for more information about primary and secondary indexes Page 16 EnviroRanger User Guide PL 600 Programming the EnviroRanger To meet the needs of any given application the ERS 500 must be correctly programmed Parameters are described in the Parameter Reference PL 603 and sample applications are given throughout this manual Starting Program Mode Entering program mode has the following effects all operating data is retained in memory alarm relay status
