Step Action
1 In the Program Control Loops menu, select LOOP #2.
2 Consult the Program Control Loops section of this manual to learn about the menu item you wish to
change, namely, SETPOINT #2.
3 Press Down Arrow button to move the cursor to the menu choice SETPOINT #2.
4 Press Enter to move the cursor to the right side of the display where the choices for SETPOINT #2
are.
5 Press Up Arrow until NUMBER is displayed. Press Enter.
6 The rightmost digit will slowly flash on and off, indicating the cursor position.
Since we want to change the number to 95.00, press the Left Arrow until the ones digit flashes. The
Left Arrow moves the cursor to the left.
7 Press Up Arrow to change the 0 to a 5.
8 To change the tens digit, press Left Arrow to move the cursor one place to the left.

How to program a discrete input parameter with a number
Table 3-6 shows how to connect Setpoint #2, an analog parameter, to a number. You can also connect a
discrete parameter to a number. A discrete parameter, such as an alarm’s input source, can be
connected to any discrete parameter type in Table 3-7, or it can be programmed with a 0 to signify the off
state or with a 1 to signify the on state. Enter a value of 1 or 0. For example, if you program an alarm’s
input source (Figure 3-7) with a value of 1, the alarm’s output (AL1 OS) will always be on.
To program a discrete parameter with a 1 or 0, perform the following procedure. The procedure uses
Alarm1’s Input source as the parameter being programmed.
