Select variable in the bottom text line using. The selected parameter is shown in the main display. As the device is in HOLD mode, you can perform validations using simulators without influencing the signal outputs.

Service Display Menu item Controller test (manual specification of controller output): This function is used to start up control loops or check the actuators. For bumpless changeover to automatic operation (exiting this function), configure an I-action component (reset time). Controller characteristic The lower display shows the currently adjusted controller output Yp.

Service Display Menu item Assigning passcodes: In the “SERVICE - CODES“ menu you can assign pass- codes to DIAG, HOLD, CAL, CONF, and SERVICE modes (Service preset to 5555). When you have lost the Service passcode, you have to request an “Ambulance TAN“ from the manufac- turer specifying the serial number of your device.
