6 Setup
6.1 Indication of the switching status
The switching status of the electronics can be checked via the signal
lamps (LEDs) integrated in the upper part of the housing.
The signal lamps have the following meaning:
•
Green lights - voltage supply connected
•
Yellow lights - vibrating element covered
•
Red lights briefly - function test during instrument start (for 0.5 s)
•
Red lights - shortcircuit or overload in the load circuit (sensor
output high-impedance)
•
Red flashes - Error on the vibrating element or the electronics
(sensor output high impedance)
6.2 Simulation
The OPTISWITCH 4000 C has an integrated function for simulation
of the output signal which can be activated magnetically. Please
proceed as follows:
→
Hold the test magnet (accessory) against the circle symbol with
the label "TEST" on the instrument housing
Fig. 12: Simulation of the output signal
The test magnet changes the current switching condition of the instru-
ment. You can check the change on the signal lamp. Please note that
all connected device are activated during the simulation.
If OPTISWITCH 4000 C does not switch over after several tests with
the test magnet, you have to check the plug connection and the
connection cable and try it again. If there is no switching function, the
electronics will be defective. In this case you have to exchange the
electronics or return the instrument to our repair department.
Caution:
It is absolutely necessary that you remove the test magnet from the
instrument housing after the simulation.
