5.6.1 Monitor Units
The Monitor Units parameter determines the units of the Control Input sensor to use
for creating the proportional voltage output. The Monitor Out scaling parameter set-
tings will be entered using the units chosen for this parameter.

5.6.1.1 Polarity and Monitor Out Scaling Parameters
In the Monitor Out and Open Loop modes, t
he voltage output can be configured as
either unipolar (0 V to +10 V) or bipolar (–10 V to +10 V). In bipolar mode, the Monitor
Out –10 V setting determines the temperature or sensor value at which the output
should be –10 V. In unipolar mode, the Monitor Out 0 V setting determines the tem-
perature or sensor value at which the output should be 0
V. The Monitor Out +10 V
setting determines the temperature or sensor value at which the output should be
+10 V in either unipolar or bipolar modes.

For example, if Polarity is set to Bipolar, then setting the Monitor Out –10 V parameter
to 0 K and the Monitor Out +10 V parameter to 100 K will cause the voltage output to
correspond to the input temperature as shown in FIGURE 5-4. In this case if the actual
reading was 50 K, then the output would be at 0 V (middle of the scale).

FIGURE 5-5 shows the output if the Polarity parameter is set to Unipolar. In this case if
the actual reading was 50 K, the voltage output would be +5 V (middle of the scale).
