over the field. Only the latest version
of the tool has this feature.

just type in a new value or select in the
drop down. After changing the value
you store the data by clicking
“

The data is then saved and
stored in the sensor and remains there
even when the power supply is discon-
nected.

When using a splitter box it is possible to run the refrigeration system
and connect a PC to the sensor at the same time. The splitter box is
not suited for normal operation, but only for installation and modifi-

sor and then both the pc and the normal M12 plug can be connected.
