group. Two levels of alarms can be programmed for any combination of
over, under, or differential temperature for each channel. If the differen-
tial temperature alarm is selected, an alarm occurs when the channel is a
specified number of degrees greater (or less) than the setpoint, compared
to the average of the channels in the group. Actual temperatures and the
average temperature of the jumper-programmed group are also available.
A single cable design from transducer interface modules to the monitor
is used to minimize installation wiring costs and labor.
