FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH Commissioning | 4 4 Commissioning 4.1 General All electrical supply, operating and measuring lines, and the pressure connec- tions must have been correctly installed before commissioning. All supply lines are arranged so that there are no mechanical forces acting on the device.
4 | Commissioning FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH 4.3 Parameters After it has been switched on, the unit carries out a display test and shows the implemented firmware version for approx. 2s. Then the pressure transmitter switches to the operating mode.
FISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH Commissioning | 4 4.4 Parameter list The following describes all parameters in the shown list. Please note that some Outlet parameters are not available depending on the unit version. For instance, the parameters for the switch points are hidden, if the unit does not have any switch points.
