4. Press to observe the
Failsafe Time Left
(time left in percent before failsafe
activation).
Each time a valid measurement is made for the Point Number displayed, this
value (Auxiliary Reading) is reset to 100 and begins to fall toward 0 until the next
valid measurement is made.
If the Failsafe Time Left reaches 0, the DPS300 flashes “LOE” in the Reading
display.
All associated data is supplied to the Peripheral Communications terminals (27
and 28). If a BIC-II is connected, refer to TECHNICAL REFERENCE /
