5.10 Display
The parameters for influencing the display are
summarised in this menu.
The most important parameter is
Colour
. A fixed
background colour (red, green, yellow, blue, pink,
turquoise, white) can be selected here. There are
also two auto-functions with colour switching avail-
able. One possible colour switch is red-green, the
second colour switch is red-yellow-green. Alterna-
tively, the background illumination can be perma-
nently deactivated.
In the automatic colour switch mode it is possible to
enter the required switching thresholds "red-yellow
switching", "yellow-green switching", "green-yellow
switching", "yellow-red switching" or "red-green
switching" and "green-red switching".
The switching thresholds can be moved within the
measuring range. The series of switch points can-
not be altered.
Note:
If a range cannot be used, the as-
sociated switch thresholds can be set to
the same value. An example is shown in
the sketch:
Only the green, yellow and red ranges are required
here. To fade out the lower ranges red and yellow,
the switch thresholds "red-yellow switching" and
"yellow-green switching" are set to the start of the
measuring range.
Fast and unwanted changing of the colour can be
prevented via the
Hysteresis
value. The hysteresis
can be set between the range 0.1... Can be set
10 ...
Note:
In the case of large hysteresis
values, steps must be taken to ensure
that the ranges of the individual colours
do not overlap. Otherwise it is possible
that the colour change may not function in the de-
sired way.
The parameter
Delay
offers a further option to pre-
vent unwanted colour changes. Here the colour
change can be delayed in the range between
0…100s.
The following applies for instruments
with firmware 2.16 and later:
Here the colour change can be delayed in the range
between 0…1800s.
If the lighting should not shine constantly, the pa-
rameter
Lighting period
can be used to define
when it should turn off after the last button is
pressed. In addition to the permanent lighting, the
automatic shutdown is possible after 10…600 s.
The set time is only valid if the background colour is
not set to "off".
Amongst other things, the legibility of the display
depends on the temperature and the reading angle.
To ensure optimised legibility, this can be adjusted
using the parameter
Contrast
. When the contrast is
changed, it is possible that the display appears
empty or almost completely black. In this case, the
contrast must be turned up or down.
The display can be switched via the parameter
Bargraph
yes/no: the measured value is either
shown in large digits or the display shows small dig-
its and an additional bargraph to display the meas-
ured value more clearly.
5.11 System
The menu items
Software
–
Info
and
C
onfig
– Info
provide information about the device. This infor-
mation helps to answer questions about the device
quickly.
The
Software - Info
shows the device type, control-
ler ID and the firmware version. The
Config - Info
states the basic measuring range, the defined out-
put signal and the existing contacts.
The statistics provide information about the operat-
ing time and the relay operations since delivery.
The operating time is shown in days (d) and hours
(h)
In the
Password
menu, the menu can be protected
against unauthorised access. The password is a
number between 1 and 999. 0 means that no pass-
word is active.
