2. Operating Modes 

The function switch is used to select the required mode. The four operating modes 
available are… 

1.  

SET LIMIT

 : Switch to 

SET LIMIT

 when setting the Conductivity value at  

  which the Alarm LED and (optional) relay output are  
  activated. The relay output is not operational in this mode.  
  See section 3.5. 

2.  

STANDBY

 : Switch to 

STANDBY

 to inhibit the Alarm LED and  

  (optional) output relay action. Select this mode for  
  calibration, or when automatic dosing is not required. 

3.  

AUTO

 : Switch to 

AUTO

 to enable the Alarm LED and (optional)  

  relay output. These will be activated when the Conductivity  
  is outside the limit value. See section 3.5. 

4.  

MANUAL

 : Switch to 

MANUAL

 to manually dose chemicals or water  

  when the optional relay output is fitted. The relay output will  
  be activated for as long as the 

mini

CHEM

-Cond

 is in this  

  mode, regardless of the Conductivity reading. See section 7.
