The TP290 is protected against reverse polarity, and can withstand 50 mA without damage. The TP290 connection could be done conform the figure 1.7 and 1.8. It is also recommended to ground the shield of shielded cables at one end only. The non grounded end must be carefully isolated.
PROM. For temporary storage of data there is a RAM. The data in the RAM is lost if the power is switched off, however the device also has a nonvolatile EEPROM where data that must be retained is stored. Examples of such data are: calibration and TP290 configuration. Fig. 2.1 –TP290 Block Diagram...

Upon receiving power, the TP290 initializes the position indication on the display, by showing model TP290 and its software version (X.XX). Should the indication be higher than 1 9999 it will be displayed as a two digit and an exponent.
In this section the “Magnetic Tool” will be referred to as “TOOL”, and the orifices identified by “S” and “Z” will be “ORIFICE S” and “ORIFICE Z”, respectively. Fig. 3.1 – Orifices of the Local Adjust Table 3.1- shows the results of what actions on “Z” and “S” cause on the TP290. ORIFICE ACTION Function browsing.
