15.2 Analogue Input Module mV Bridge
The Analogue Input Module mV Bridge has the option to use the sensor catalogue (basic / extended),
configure a custom channel, or copy from a configured channel (basic / extended).
Note: When making changes using Extended options, it is the user’s responsibility to determine whether
other settings have been affected and to make any corresponding changes.
If a basic configuration is selected, only the first two screens detailed below will be used (Commission
Channel and Field Device Selection). The rest of the configuration will be programmed automatically, either
from the sensor catalogue or from the channel that is being copied.
Note: If a channel is configured from the sensor catalogue, it is possible to edit individual settings afterwards
(see Section “Editing a Configured Channel”).
Note: For catalytic bead type detectors, the Touchpoint Pro controller is necessary to complete the
measuring circuit. Therefore all commissioned mV channels remain in Inhibit state until they are calibrated.
