Default values out of factory:
Modbus ID:
1
Baud rate:
19200
Stop bit:

Parity:
even
Byte Order:
ABCD
Remark
: If the sensor is placed at the end of the Modbus system a termination is required. The sensors have an
internal switchable termination, therefore the 6 fastening screws from the lid are to be released and set
the internal DIP Switch to “On”.
Alternatively, a 120R resistor can be installed in the plug between pin 2 and pin 4
.
It must be ensured that the connection plugs are still plugged and the gasket is installed correctly, see
also chapter 4.5.
