User manual - METER SWE-73-L The device can be configured via IR remote controller but it must be supplied at least by 10mA current and the temperature must be at least 0°C in order to do that. 7.1. PROGRAMMING MENU To enter main menu (being in the measurement mode) operator must to press and hold at least 2 sec.
User manual - METER SWE-73-L 7.2.2. Switch parameters (“LIST” type) Switch parameters can be described as a sets of values (a lists) out of which only one of the options available on the list can be selected for the given parameter. Options of switching parameter are selected using keys.

User manual - METER SWE-73-L “SEt2” - second threshold of the relay (range -999 ÷ 9999). Negative values can be input by selecting a “-” sign on first digit ( to change value use [^] and [v] buttons). This threshold is accessible when “modE” parameter is set to “in” or “out” value.
User manual - METER SWE-73-L “AL” - this parameter defines the relay reaction when some critical situations occurs: “noCH” - relay do not change his state, “on” - relay will be turned ON, “oFF” - relay will be turned OFF .

User manual - METER SWE-73-L These parameters describe the values displayed for minimum and maximum input “Lo C” current. “Lo C” parameter defines the value displayed when input current is equal “Hi C” 4 mA, and “Hi C” parameter defines the value displayed for 20 mA of input current.
User manual - METER SWE-73-L The permissible range allow user to exceed the nominal range of input signal. If input value is contained in the permissible range a proper result is displayed. If input signal exceeds this range (defined by “Lo r” and “Hi r” ), “-Lo-” or “-Hi-”...

User manual - METER SWE-73-L 8. OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION The current input of the device is equipped with over-current protection circuit. This circuit protects the standard resistor to damage. Maximum input current is set to about 50 mA. When temperature of the standard resistor falls, the protection circuit will turn off himself automatically, and the device will measure the input current again.
