Setting EDS switchpoints for the alarm and stopping pressure

The EDS has two switch outputs. You can set one switchpoint and one hysteresis
for every switching output.

The respective output switches when the set switchpoint has been reached and
switches back when the switch-back point has been fallen short of. The switch-back
point is always determined by the set hysteresis (switch-back point = switchpoint
minus hysteresis).

SP1

We recommend the following for setting the alarm pressure and the stop pressure:

Alarm pressure

=

SP2

The alarm pressure should be ~ 20 % above the
currently displayed pressure (upper pressure).

At least 20 mbar higher than the actual pressure.

Stop pressure

=

SP1

600 mbar.
