Parameterization and operation

Press the required sensor for the RTC module and confirm
by pressing

ENTER

below the selection list.

Sensors in black type are available for the RTC module.



Sensors in red type are not available for the RTC module.

Note: For sensors marked (p), PROGNOSYS is available if these
sensors have been selected in conjunction with an RTC module
(refer to the PROGNOSYS user manual).

The selected sensor is shown in the sensor list.



Press

ADD

(

, item 3) to open the selection list again.

Select the second sensor for the RTC module and confirm
by pressing

ENTER

below the selection list.

Note: Previously selected sensors are shown in gray.

The selected sensors are shown in the sensor list.

To sort the sensors in the order specified for the RTC
module, press the sensor and use the arrow keys to move it
(
