The emphasis is on ease of use. A simple Quick Start code is used to configure all the functions essential for indication and protecting your process. This includes input sensor type, measurement range and alarms making Out the Box operation truly achievable. In operation every parameter has a scrolling text message describing its function and is available in English, German, French, Spanish or Italian. More advanced features, including scrolling text messages, are configured using a PC based  configuration wizard which is an easy to use and instructive guide to all the functions available.

Universal Input
A wide range of temperature and process inputs can be selected using the front panel push buttons without the need for any hardware change. This provides easy on-site set up.

Process Alarms
Four internal alarm setpoints are provided. They can be used to energize up to three relay outputs, which can be latched if required. A special mode known, as ‘Alarm Blocking’ is available which ensures that when the unit is powered up an alarm must first enter a good state before the alarm becomes active. This is particularly useful for low alarms which can be blocked while the process is warming up.

Custom Text Messaging
Custom messages can be created with a PC tool and downloaded to the 3200i to display when an event, alarm or process condition occurs. This provides the operator with good visibility of what is happening in the process and provides messages that they can understand and act upon.

Analogue Retransmission
The measured process value can be retransmitted as either a mA or voltage signal with a selection of outputs including 4-20mA and 0-10Vdc. In the 32h8i this signal is isolated from all other electronics within the unit.

Digital Communication
All units support both EIA232 and EIA485 communication using the Modbus protocol as a slave device. It is also possible to digitally retransmit one parameter using a Modbus broadcast to all other Modbus devices on the network.

Configuration Adaptor
PC configuration to all 3200i indicators can be achieved by using a configuration adaptor. It provides iTools with the ability to communicate with and configure devices without any power being connected.

iTools Wizard
Used to simplify the set up of 3200i series indicators, the wizard guides the user through the configuration process with interactive help and graphical demonstrations of features.
