14.2 Fail-Safe Operation
The Fail-Safe system is designed to alert the operator and provide a safe output in case of any system failure.
Basically, it is designed to shut down the process in the event of a set-up error, system error, or a failure in the
sensor electronics.
Warning
The Fail-Safe circuit should never be relied on exclusively to protect critical heating processes.
Other safety devices should also be used to supplement this function!
When an error or failure does occur, the output circuits automatically adjust to the lowest or highest preset level.
The following table shows the corresponding analog values and the error code transmitted over the digital
communication.
