Simulation mode
Introduction
The simulation mode supports the commissioning of the device. In simulation mode, you can
check the following without real measured values:
●
The correct setting of the alarm thresholds.
●
The correct parameterization of the digital outputs.
In simulation mode, a simulated measured value is displayed in the digital display, which is
adjustable with the and buttons.
Note
Adjusting simulated measured values
A acoustic emission sensor does not need to be connected to simulate a measured value.
Condition
The measurement channel must be in simulation mode. The measurement channel is in
simulation mode if the parameter P.1 to P.4 associated with the measurement channel is set
to "SIMU".
Elements of the digital display in simulation mode
The following figure shows the elements of the digital display:

Procedure
In order to simulate the measured values, proceed as follows:
