13. Configuration menu (cont.)
The ‘
Tools’
(
tool
) menu groups several functions.
•
at the ‘
Eco mode
’ (
Eco
) parameter, define the time to wait before the
display is powered off (while in ‘
normal mode
’ of operation). Default
value is 60 seconds. Configure ‘0’ to disable the function and maintain
the display always on.
•
at the ‘
SOS mode
’ (
SoS
) parameter select ‘
on
’ to activate the output
signal to a predefined value. Select the value from 0 to 100% of the
active output range (4/20 mA or 0/10 Vdc). To deactivate the ‘
SOS
mode
’ select ‘
oFF
’. See section 6 for more information on the ‘
SOS
mode
’.
•
at the ‘
Label
’ (
LAbL
) parameter, define an alphanumerical value to
be displayed on the display, when the instrument is in ‘
normal mode
’
of operation, or at the ‘
messages
’ function when the key ‘
LE
’ (
3
) is
pressed. The label can be used to identify the instrument with its
own internal factory code. If more than four characters are needed,
configure the ‘
Label 2
’ (
LbL.2
) parameter. The total label value is
the characters at ‘
label
’ followed by the characters at ‘
label2
’. For
additional information and a list of available characters, see section 7.
•
at the ‘
On error
’ (
on.Er
) parameter, configure the behavior of the
output signal, in case of error at the input signal (see section 16).
• select ‘
Output to high
’ (
to.hI
) to force the output signal to overrange
to maximum value
• select ‘
Output to low
’ (
to.Lo
) to force the output signal to
underrange to minimum value
• select ‘
Standard output
’ (
Stdr
) to overrange output signal to
maximum value in case of input signal overrange, and to underrange
output signal to minimum value in case of input signal underrange.

The key ‘
LE
’ (

) at the front of the instrument gives access to a
configurable set of information messages.
At the ‘
Key LE (messages function)
’ (
K.LE
) menu, select the informations
to be displayed when the front key ‘
LE
’ (
3
) is pressed (see section 10.5).
Select ‘
on
’ to activate each information.
•
configure ‘
Input signal value
’ (
InP.S
) to ‘
on
’ to see the actual input
signal value and units (for example: ‘
Inp tc J ºC 528
’).
•
configure ‘
Output signal value
’ (
out.S
) to ‘
on
’ to see the actual output
signal value and units (for example: ‘
Out mA 08.3
’)
•
configure ‘
Label
’ (
LAbL
) to ‘
on
’ to read the value configured at the
‘
label
’ and ‘
label2
’ parameters (see section 13.10).
•
configure ‘
Process value
’ (
Proc
) to ‘
on
’ to read the process value as
configured at the process parameters (see section 13.6) (for example: ‘
Proc
1500
’).
•
configure ‘
Percentage
’ (
Prct
) to ‘
on
’ to see the actual percentage
of signal, where ‘0’ is the value assigned to the ‘
input signal low
’
parameter, and ‘100’ is the value assigned to the ‘
input signal high
’
parameter (see section 13.6) (for example: ‘
Prct 23.5
’).
When more than one parameter is set to ‘
on
’, values will be displayed
sequentially, in the same order as they are listed in the menu, with a
middle dash ‘
-
’ between them. When all information has been displayed,
the instrument returns to ‘
normal mode
’ of operation.
