Commissioning procedure

Establishing the measuring range and actual value output

Set the parameters of the conductivity transmitter using the 10-pole code switch on the circuit board. 

You can also adjust the cell constant and initiate a function test by changing the code switch settings. 

The factory settings are shaded grey in the tables below.
1.  Define the measuring range of the conductivity transmitter to suit the admissible conductivity range 

of the steam boiler.

2.  Set the desired measuring range via the code switch. To change the code switch settings you can use 

a ball-point pen, for example.
