7.4.2.2 Deadband 
Deadband  is  a  zone  of  flexibility  around  the  threshold.  The  alarm  does  not  go  abnormal  until  the 
temperature exceeds the threshold value by the number of set deadband degrees. Thereafter, it does not 
go normal until the temperature is below the threshold by the number of set deadband degrees. The 
deadband is factory preset to ±2 K of threshold value. Adjusting to other values is accomplished through 
DataTemp Multidrop Software. For information on the sensor’s communication protocols, see section 
10 Programming Guide, page 67.
