In configuration mode, the 4

 

mA or 20

 

mA point, or both reference points, can be modi-

fied in any order.

 

To define a reference point while the sensor is in configuration mode

 

 

briefly (1

-

2 seconds) press “4 mA” button (2) to define a current consumption of 

4 mA for the present immersed position of the sensor.

 

 

briefly (1

-

2 seconds) press “20 mA” button (3) to define a current consumption 

of 20 mA for the present immersed position of the sensor.

 

When  the  “4

 

mA”  button  is  pressed,  the  LED  goes  out  for  5  seconds.  When  the 

“20

 

mA” button is pressed, the LED lights up permanently for 5 seconds. The sensor then 

remains in configuration mode for a further 15 seconds before storing the change and 

reverting to measuring mode.

 

 

The new configuration will not be adopted by the level sensor until it has 

switched from configuration mode to measuring mode automatically (LED 

goes out). The level sensor must, therefore, not be disconnected from the 

power supply until this time.

 

 

6.2

 

Current consumption in failure mode  

If a malfunction is preventing the level sensor from detecting levels correctly,

 

the sensor 

will  enter  failure  mode  after  a  short  time.  Failure  mode  signalling  conforms  to  the 

 

NAMUR NE43 recommendation. The failure current is set by default to 21.5 mA but this 

value can also be set to 3.6 mA.

 

To configure current consumption in failure mode (see Figure 5):

 

(1)

 

Unscrew cap (1) using an open

-

ended spanner.

 

(2)

 

Press and hold both the “4 mA” button (2) and “20 mA” button (3) simultan

e-

ously for at least 3 seconds.

 

Green  LED  (4)  “Cal/Err”  flashes  rapidly.  The  current  consumption  of  the  level  sensor  is 

16 

mA. After 5 seconds, the LED stops flashing and indicates the selected failure current 

consumption for 2.5 seconds. If the LED is on permanently, failure current consumption is 

21.5

 

mA;  if  the  LED  turns  off,  failure  current  consumption  is  3.6

 

mA.  If  no  button  is 

pressed again, the level sensor remains in failure mode for a further 2.5 seconds before 
reverting to measuring mode and discarding the change.

 

 

For adjusting the current consumption of 3.6 mA during the dwell time (10 sec) 

in the fault mode, briefly (1

-

2 seconds) press the "4 mA" button (2).

 

 

For adjusting the current consumption of 21.5 mA during the dwell time (10 sec) 

in the fault mode, briefly (1

-

2 seconds) press the "20 mA" button (3).
