Testing the configuration

After programming the device, it is recommended that you test the device to ensure that it
performs to your specifications. This test can be run in simulation mode or by varying the
actual level in the application. The latter is preferred as it more accurately represents running
conditions. However, if it is not possible to do a physical test, a simulation will ensure that
control programming is correct. For further details, see Pump relay behaviour during
simulation (Page 154), and Application test (Page 157).
