Procedure
Use the following procedure to program a trip
detection:
1. Press CH 1 or CH 2, as appropriate, to activate the
BetaPort–DC module.
2. Use the Menu key to locate the Setup menu item
Trip, then press the corresponding function key to
display a screen similar to the one shown below:
In the above example:
x = the channel number of the DC module.
3. To enable the trip detect status, press the function
key corresponding to the menu item Enab, and the
electrical signal display will read READY.
4. Close the pressure circuit of the trip instrument,
then slowly re-apply pressure (or vacuum) to the
pressure circuit.
5. The electrical signal display will continue to read
READY until the calibrator detects a change of state
from the contacts. Once this change of state occurs,
the display will read TRIP and the pressure input
display will freeze at the point of the trip.
6. Maintain the pressure (or vacuum) from the
pressure source, then press the function key
corresponding to Reset. The BetaGauge II will
once again display READY, in preparation for
detecting the reset point.
