Automatic Centre Mode; Maximum Hold Mode - Pepperl+Fuchs 3RG7256-3NQ00-PF Mounting And Operating Instructions

Automatic centre mode

The output characteristic curve 4 – 20 mA is displaced with this function. When the automatic centre function is
activated and Q = +U
1 B
the characteristic curve is maintained and the minimum and maximum values of the characteristic curve are limited
by the measuring range.
The distance to the object must be within the measuring range.

Maximum hold mode

When maximum hold mode is activated and Q

Example of use: determining the maximum value of a shaft
The minimum value can be determined by inverting the analogue output characteristic (see function no. 16 and 17).
