indicates the parameter symbol, and the lower display indicates
the selected value of the parameter.
3–1 Lockout
There are four security levels that can be selected using the LOCK
parameter.
If NONE is selected for LOCK, then no parameter is locked.
If SET is selected for LOCK, then all setup data are locked.
If USER is selected for LOCK, then all setup data as well as
user data (refer to section 1-5) except the set point are
locked to prevent them from being changed.
If ALL is selected for LOCK, then all parameters are locked to
prevent them from being changed.
3–2 Signal Input
INPT: Selects the sensor type or signal type for signal input.
Range: (thermocouple) J-TC, K-TC, T-TC, E-TC, B-TC,
R-TC, S-TC, N-TC, L-TC

(Linear) 4–20mA, 0–20mA, 0–60mV, 0–1VDC,
0–5VDC, 1–5VDC, 0–10VDC
UNIT: Selects the process unit
Range: °C, °F, PU (process unit). If the unit is set for nei-
ther °C nor °F, then it defaults to PU.
DP: Selects the resolution of process value.
Range: (For T/C and RTD) NO.DP, 1-DP
SL = Setpoint Low Stop SH = Setpoint High Stop
