Lower Threshold Setting (2-state mode)
The Lower Threshold Setting is the % of range below which the probe is considered
uncovered. In order to switch the output signal, the corresponding delay time has to be
met (Menu 04).
The loop-current control (Menu 07) must be in 2-state mode for this menu to display the
Upper Threshold Setting in percent. As an extra identifier, a downward ramp
displayed to the right of the value.

Analog Signalling Mode (2-state): menu level 0

Note:
Menu 08 has precedence over the settings in Menu 07.
The factory setting is for Analog mode (the loop-current is proportional with the
percentage of the range). When no buttons are pressed, the LCD displays the current mA
value.
2-state Signalling Mode provides a 4 mA or 20 mA output. The settings are relative to a
covered probe:
C: Hi selects a 20 mA signal for a covered probe, which switches to 4 mA if the
probe becomes uncovered.
C: Lo selects a 4 mA signal for a covered probe, which switches to 20 mA if the
probe becomes uncovered.
