Display Units
(The 3101)
The display units are indicated by the position of the decimal point in the
displayed PV value:
Units Display
m 8.000
ft. 26.24
in. 314.9
Default values are as follows:
3101****SC**: m
3101****RC**: ft.
NOTE:
See Figure C-1 on page C-2 for a map of the programming menu structure
showing how to access all the menu options and return to the PV display.
To change the display units:
a) Start from the PV display (see the note above.)
b) Hold down the blue button
→ for 10 seconds, but do not release it yet.
c) The display units will then change according to the following sequence:
3101****SC**: Metres to Feet, Feet to Inches, and Inches to Metres.
3101****RC**: Feet to Inches, Inches to Metres, and Metres to Feet.
d) Continue to hold down the blue button
→ to change to the next display
unit in the above sequence after every three seconds.
e) Confirm the display units by releasing the blue button
→.
The same units must be used when programming in the bottom reference and
the 4 and 20 mA points.
The 4–20 mA output may be set to operate over all or just a part of the total
measuring range. There is no limit on the minimum span of the current output,
although a span below 4 in. (100 mm) is not recommended.
The 4 mA level may be set above or below the 20 mA level to suit the
monitoring or control equipment.
NOTE:
The Rosemount 3101 measures and calculates in meters. The display units
are derived as a last operation using a pre-programmed conversion factor.
