• Alarm Hysteresis Screen
This screen indicates when the PioneerR-16 considers an alarm condition passed. The alarm
hysteresis feature helps prevent readings that are near an alarm setpoint from frequently going into
and out of alarm (relay chattering). For example, if the alarm hysteresis setting is 2.0% of fullscale,
fullscale is 10.0 ppm, and the alarm 1 setpoint is 3.0 ppm; then the Pioneer will not consider the alarm
1 condition “passed” until the reading goes below 2.8 ppm. You can choose from a range of 0.0% to
10.0% of fullscale (in 0.1% increments). The default setting is 2.0%.

• Calibration Time Out Screen
The Pioneer-R16’s Calibrate program includes two separate time-out features. The first time-out
feature is a general 5-minute time-out. The Pioneer automatically returns to the normal screen if you
do not move from one Calibrate screen to another within 5 minutes. You cannot adjust this setting,
and it affects all Calibrate screens except the Fresh Air and Calibration screens.
