General information
2.2 Information on use
2.2.6
Automatic reset
All SIPROCESS GA700 devices feature internal monitoring. When this monitoring is activated,
the standard digital outputs switch after about 4 seconds for a period of approx. 60 seconds to
"inactive", i.e. to a recognized safe operating mode. These times are valid for devices
manufactured as of 09/2017. You can find this information on the nameplate. It can take up to
10 seconds for older devices to switch over, and up to 100 seconds to switch to safe operating
mode.
If you are using SIPROCESS GA700 devices in critical processes, observe the following
information:
• Monitor the limits externally via the control system.
• If an option module 2.1 is installed, read out the device status via the digital outputs of the
option module.
• Use an available manual measuring range switchover instead of the autoranging.
• Only use the "Total" parameter with the "Off" setting for the measuring range switchover.
• If you use the "Correction of cross-interference" and "External pressure compensation"
functions, store suitable substitute values.
• Only access the measured value via an analog output.
