Device status, menu 2.1
2.1
The test-routines are systematically executed during normal operation. The error is indicated
by a blinking notice on display:
•
•
The error can be shown on the analog and digital outputs.
The error is described by the variable status_display (menu 2.1). The error messages and their
assignment to the display notice, analog output, and digital outputs are noted in the table.

Suppress error, menu 2.2
In this menu item, error messages such as "Illegal flow measurement" and/or "Measuring path
disturbed" are eliminated so that no error message is read neither on the display nor at the
current output. After every reset of the device all error messages are available again, thus this
menu seting is not stored.
Device test, menu 2.3
The following test routines are available:
Self
The self test routines test the hardware and has a duration of about 10 sec.
If there is no error, "OK" is displayed, otherwise "not OK". The type of error can be read in the
menu item "2.1 Device Status".
Display
The LCD is checked with this menu item. The display is dark for about 5 seconds at first and
then bright for about 5 seconds.
Simulation, menu 2.4
Signal circuits of analog output and digital outputs 1 and 2 can be checked here. The value to
be simulated can be selected in the individual
confirming the selected value.
