Emergency mode
The current outputs of the transmitter may be programmed via Modbus commands
to signal if the connection with the sensor is lost. The signal may be set to 3,8 mA
or 21,5 mA. See the table of Modbus registers for more information.
Return to default settings
To reset the device’s Slave ID, baudrate and sbit number to factory settings,
proceed as follows:
1. De-energize the device
2. Connect the J3 jumper
3. Turn on the device
4. De-energize the device
5. Disconnect the J3 jumper
6. Turn on the device
Calibration
E2618-H2 has been calibrated by Manufacturer with standard gas mixtures before
delivery. The semiconductor gas sensor exhibits high stability and ~10 year
lifetime. However, as the gas sensor is directly exposed to environment, the
instrument requires at least annual field recalibration with a portable calibration kit.
Please contact your distributor for more information.
