6.3 CONFIGURING THE ANALOG OUTPUT (EXAMPLE)

 

(FOR 4…20 MA / 3-WIRE ADJUSTABLE) 

The analog output can be configured in the menus 

ZP

 (zero point) and 

EP

 (end point). The 

following example shows how to use them: 
In this example, the device has a measurement range of 0–400 bar (0–5800 psi). 
The output analog signal: 
0 bar (0 psi) = 4.00 mA  

200 bar (2900 psi) = 12.00 mA 

400 bar (5800 psi) = 20 mA. 

If the value is changed from 0 to 20 in ZP and the EP value from 400 to 300, the output signal 
changes as follows: 
20 bar (290 psi) = 4.00 mA  160 bar (2320 psi) = 12.00 mA 

300 bar (4350 psi) = 20 mA. 

The values of ZP and EP are adjustable up to 1:5 of the nominal pressure range. 

6.4 HYSTERESIS AND COMPARE MODE 

The diagrams below show the operation of the switch outputs. 
To reverse the relevant modes, you have to swap the values for the switch-on and switch-off 
points.

6.5 STRUCTURE OF THE MENU SYSTEM

6.6 DESCRIPTION OF THE MENU SYSTEM 

Menu 1 – Access protection 

 

PAon 

 password active

 

 to deactivate: enter password. 

 

PAof 

 password inactive

 

 to activate: enter password. 

The default password is “0005”; modification of the password is described in “Special menu 
4”.

 

Menu 2 – Set decimal point position 

  Set the position of the decimal point! 

 

Menu 2a – Indication of the start of the measuring range (zero point) 
(only 4…20 mA / 3-wire adjustable) 

 

Value defined in the order, no input option. 

 

Menu 2b – Indication of the end of the measuring range (end point) 
(only 4…20 mA / 3-wire adjustable) 

 

Value defined in the order, no input option. 

 

Menu 3 and Menu 4 – Set zero point / end point 

&

 

 

The device has been configured correctly before delivery, so a later setting 

of a 2-wire device is only necessary, if a differing displayed value is desired (e. g. 0 – 100 %).  
For 4…20 mA / 3-wire adjustable: this menu has a different meaning. The configuration of the 
zero point affects the analog output, whereas the display value remains unchanged (zero and 
endpoint can be configured within the limits of the nominal pressure range, according to the 
manufacturing label); for more information, see “6.3 Configuration the analog output (example). 
(for 4…20 mA / 3-wire adjustable)". 

 

Menu 5 – Set damping

 

 

This feature eliminates problems caused by rapidly changing pressure 

values. By setting the time (0.3 – 30 sec), the current output signal can be delayed. The higher 
the value entered, the longer it takes to reach the current pressure output signal's value. 

 

Menu 6 – Excess value message 

 

Set “On” or “Off”. 

 

Menu 7, Menu 9 – Set switch-on point for switching output 
(switching outputs S1, S2) 

 

Set a switch-on value for the relevant output. (S1, S2 output 

S1on

S2on

)!
