6. Operator interface
The Evaluation unit is a multi-sensor Evaluation unit. So it is strongly recommended to check before
commissioning whether the correct sensor is selected under menu item
System
.
The operator interface differs depending on the system design:
•
DIN Rail housing without touchscreen, operation via PC software
•
Field housing with display, alternative operation via PC software
•
One to three sensor system
In the following, the basic operation of the PicoFlow system will be described as a one sensor system without
re-entering the differences between the various variants.
6.1 Differences between the individual variants of the Evaluation units
The Evaluation unit MSE 300 is available in different versions:
• In field housing
[-FH]
, for installation outdoors
• In a DIN rail housing, for installation in the electrical cabinet
For the version in the DIN rail housing, an additional distinction is made between:
•
DR
: Standard DIN rail enclosure with static structure
•
DR2
: DIN rail housing with several output signals and preparation for modular extensions
The following overview shows the differences between the variants:

The standard variants of the Evaluation units in the DIN Rail housing are configured exclusively via a USB
connection and a PC program.
With the variant in the field housing and the modular extension of the MSE 300-DR2, all functions can be
configured menu-driven via the touch-sensitive display.
Configuration via PC software is possible for all variants of the Evaluation unit MSE 300.
The menu items on the display and in the PC software are numbered in a uniform manner so that they
can be referred to later on.
