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 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.

configurable set of information messages.
At the ‘
