cause measured value fluctuations. A false signal suppression is thus
recommended.
In the menu item "Current output" you determine the behaviour of the
current output during operation and in case of failure. The following
options are available:
Current output
Characteristics
Failure mode
1)
Min. current
2)
Max. current
3)
The values in bold font represent the data of the factory setting.
In HART multidrop mode, the current is constantly 4 mA. This value
does not change even in case of failure.

Min. current 3.8 mA
In this menu item you simulate a user-defined level or pressure value
via the current output. This allows you to test the signal path, e.g.
through connected indicating instruments or the input card of the
control system.
The following simulation variables are available:
•
Percent
•
Current
•
Pressure (with pressure transmitters)
•
Distance (with radar and guided microwave)
With Profibus PA sensors, the selection of the simulated value is
made via the "Channel" in the menu "Basic adjustments".
How to start the simulation:
1. Push [OK]
2. Select the requested simulation variable with [->] and confirm
with [OK].
3. Set the requested numerical value with [+] and [->].
Value of the current output in case of failure, e.g. if no valid measured value is
