Purpose: Selection of the measuring mode
Description: Select the measuring mode with the measuring mode switch. Depending on
the selection made here, menu commands that are not relevant can be
shown or hidden. The values are defined in the following menu commands.
"2.1.2 Measuring Range"
"2.1.2.1 Blind setting"
"2.1.2.1.1 Pressure Unit"
Factory setting: mbar
Setting range: inH
2
O, inHg, ftH
2
O, mmH
2
O, mmHg, psi, bar, mbar, g/cm
2
, kg/cm
2
, Pa, kPa,
HPa, Torr, atm, MPa, inH
2
O (4 °C), mmH
2
O (4 °C)
Purpose: Selection of the unit for the pressure parameter
Description: This parameter allows you to select the unit for the measured pressure
value. The parameters associated with this unit are automatically converted
to the new unit.
"2.1.2.1.2 Setting LRV"
Factory setting: 0 mbar, or as specified when ordered
Setting range: Sensor limits
Purpose: Setting the start of scale value (MA)
Description: This parameter allows you to set the MA. By inputting the pressure MA and
pressure ME, a rising characteristic results if MA < ME. A decreasing char-
acteristic results if MA > ME.
Combinations that result in a range that is smaller than the smallest permis-
sible range (depending on the measuring cell) will be rejected.
"2.1.2.1.3 Setting URV"
Factory setting: Upper measurement limit, or as specified in order
Setting range: Sensor limits
Purpose: Setting the full scale value (ME)
Description: This parameter allows you to set the full scale value. By inputting the pres-
sure MA and pressure ME a rising characteristic results if MA < ME. If
MA > ME, this results in a falling characteristic.
Combinations that result in a range that is smaller than the smallest permis-
sible range (depending on the measuring cell) will be rejected.
