• The display and switching unit ASM 400 can be integrated in any transmitter or trans- ducer with 4 … 20 mA / 2-wire or 0 … 10 V / 3-wire analogue output. With the ASM 400 a digital display and up to 2 contacts are available.
ASM 400 1.5 Package contents Please verify that all listed parts are included in the delivery: • Display and Switching Unit ASM 400 • O-ring 24x1.6 NBR • Retaining ring (Seegerring AV20) • Sheet of labels • Operating Manual "ASM 400"...
• Put the ASM 400 onto the housing’s side so that the rotational limiter of the circuit board carrier will be placed in the external groove (Ø 38). • Secure the ASM 400 with the spring retainer on the side in such a way that both parts are firmly connected.
ASM 400 3.4 Electrical installation The following table describes how to install the ASM 400 on the transmitter. The connection has to be made by soldering or pluggable. 2-wire-system Electrical cord comment Connection colours Supply + white This cord must be connected with supply + of the power supply unit.
) is 8 V. The connected transmitter is supplied by the S min ASM 400, so the minimum supply of the transmitter must be used for the total appliance if it is higher than 8 V. The following formulas are valid: ≥...
In the next step, you should carry out the settings at the zero point (menu 3) and end point (menu 4), as well as the decimal point (menu 2). The displayed value of the ASM 400 should correspond to the respective measuring value of the transmitter.
ASM 400 4.2 Menu operation The menu system is a closed system allowing you to scroll both forward and backward through the individual set-up menus to navigate to the desired setting item. All settings are permanently stored in an EEPROM and therefore available again even after disconnecting from the supply voltage.

ASM 400 4.6 Menu list Menu 1 – Access protection If the password is active, the menu "PAon" will appear. Before being able to perform settings in the menu system, you must first enter the password. Proceed as follows for deactivation: Press both buttons simultaneously to confirm the menu item "PAon".

ASM 400 Menu 17 – Maximum value display After confirming "HIPr" by pushing both buttons, the maximum signal value during the measuring process will be shown. If both buttons are activated again within one second, the stored value will be erased. Please note that the value will not remain stored if the power supply is interrupted.
