3 Operation
3.1 On-site operation
Operating elements
Four keys, which allow the lower and upper range-values to be set, are available for
on-site operation. The key functions are listed in the table below.
Display module
The local display module admits two display modes:
•
Display in measurement mode: This is shown as standard
•
Display in calibration mode: This is shown after pressing one of the keys +Z, –Z, +S
or –S once. Returns automatically to measurement mode after 2 seconds.
Key functions
+Z
increases the lower range-value (zero) by +1 digit *
–Z
decreases the lower range-value (zero) by –1 digit *
+S
increases the upper range-value (span) by +1 digit *
–S
decreases the upper range-value (span) by –1 digit *
Key combinations
(Press keys simultaneously)
Keys
Function
Calibration
+Z and –Z
the acting pressure is taken as lower range-value (4 mA)
+S and –S
the acting pressure is taken as upper range-value (20 mA)
Bias pressure
2 times +Z and +S
the acting pressure is taken as bias pressure**
1 time +Z and +S
the current bias pressure** is shown
2 times –Z and –S
the current bias pressure** is deleted
Securing the measuring point by locking/unlocking
+Z and –S
Locking the measuring point
–Z and +S
Unlocking the measuring point
The procedure for commissioning the measuring point with local operation is described
in Chapter 4.

Key functions
* Note: Pressing once activates
the display, only by pressing
again does the display begin to
count. When the key is pressed,
the value begins to run slowly at
first, then faster and faster.
** If the display indicates process
pressure zero not as zero after
calibrating lower range-value
(depending on position) you can
correct the display value to zero
by adopting a bias pressure. The
position calibration using a bias
pressure does not affect the
current output.
