Zero Span Control Signal Adjustment (-ZS option)
The offset (start point) and
span of the control signal
can be adjusted. The offset,
U0, can be adjusted between
0 to 5 VDC. The span, ∆U,
can be adjusted between 2
to 30 VDC.

range for Ys = 100%.
Ex. 2. U0 = 5V, ∆U = 30V The maximum working
range for Ys = 100%
Ex. 3. U0 = 0V, ∆U = 10V Factory setting
