an
error
message
appears
(
section 9.18 "Error messages" on page 37).
You should always wait for the heatsealing
band and the bar to cool down (to ambient
temperature) before activating the "AUTOCAL"
function.
Reasons for disabled AUTOCAL function:
1. The "AUTOCAL" function cannot be activated if the
heatsealing band cools down at a rate of more than
0.1K/s. This is additionally indicated in the Settings
menu (step 107) by the message "Heatsealing band
still hot! Please wait...".
This message is also displayed if the unit cannot be
calibrated when the external "AUTOCAL" signal is
active (cooling rate too fast).
2. If the "START" signal on the temperature controller
is activated, the "AUTOCAL" function is not
executed. This is additionally indicated in the
Settings menu (step 107) by the message "Autocal
disabled! (START signal active)".
3. If the "ALARM-IN/RESET" signal (24VDC) is
activated, the "AUTOCAL" function is not executed.
4. The AUTOCAL function cannot be activated if error
codes 101…103, 109 (up to software revision 202),
201…203, 801, or 9xx occur when the RESM-5 is
started up (
section 9.18 "Error messages" on
page 37). It cannot be activated with error codes
201…203, 801, or 9xx if the RESM-5 has operated
correctly at least once since startup.

"ALARM-IN/RESET" signal
The RESISTRON monitoring device RESM-5 can be
reset by means of an external "ALARM-IN/RESET"
signal (terminals 7+14). As a result of this:
• A message appears on the display (if no alarm is
indicated by the RESM-5)
• The standby monitoring function for the main
controller to be monitored is activated (provided this
function has been activated with step 229 in the
Configuration menu)
• An error message is reset if one is present
(Note: The error message is not reset until the
"ALARM-IN/RESET" signal is deactivated)
The actual value output changes to 0…3°C (i.e.
approximately 0VDC) while the "ALARM-IN/RESET"
signal is being activated.
The
message
"ALARM IN / RESET active"
is
additionally displayed on the RESM-5 when the
"ALARM-IN/RESET" signal is active.
The "AUTOCAL" function is not canceled if the
"ALARM-IN/RESET" signal is activated while it is still
executing.
Note the configuration of the alarm output in
the Configuration menu (step 215) if you use
the ALARM-IN/RESET signal (
figuration of the alarm output" on page 19
.
The
RESM-5
performs
an
internal
initialization lasting approximately 500ms
after the "ALARM-IN/RESET" signal is deactivated.
The unit is not ready to operate again until it has
finished.
9.10
AUTOCAL function disabled
The "AUTOCAL" function can be configured with
step 213 in the Configuration menu when step 107 is
displayed.
This prevents the heatsealing bands from being
inadvertently calibrated if the "ENTER" key is pressed.
Disabling this function has no effect on the calibration
