  • Page 6 CONFIGURATION IMPORTANT: TA2 units are pre-configured from factory (as per order specifications). Only modify con- figuration settings in case needed. NOTE: When power is first applied to the TA2 there is an initialization period for the sensor to reach stabilization. During this time the TA2 will output a 4 mA signal and the display (if provided) will read «Initializing TA2».
