Appendix A
Digital Signalling Mode (solid-state output)
Controls the solid-state switch output and allows you to set the switch to contact open or
contact closed. The settings are relative to a covered probe, and the criteria are set in
menu 15 and 16. With contact closed, the switch is on: with contact open the switch is off.
While a button is pressed, the LCD displays S: cc
1
(contact closed) or S: co (contact
open). When the button is released an equal sign (=) indicating status replaces the colon,
and the reading depends on the status of the probe
2
.
Example: S = cc is selected (contact closed with a covered probe)
•
If the probe is uncovered when the button is released, the display changes from
S: cc to S = co.
•
If the probe is covered when the buttons are released, the display changes to
S = cc.
•
If you press either button briefly, the LCD displays the current setting, in this
case, S: cc.

2. Press and hold the RED (+) or BLUE (–) button to select contact open or contact
closed.

Menu selections 13, 14, 15 and 16 set the criteria for delay and threshold that have to be
met for a change in output signal.

indicate when a setting is accepted, for example : S: cc.
