    Page 15 SETPOINT LOW- When low-low, low, high or high-high alarm monitoring is enabled at SETUP 2.3 to SETUP 2.6, the setpoints are set with these settings. SETPOINT LOW An alarm will be generated as long as the actual value is: SETPOINT HIGH LOW-LOW lower or equal to this setpoint.
  • Page 16 Page 16 OW ALARMS IGH ALARMS ISABLED This mode is used when only simple setpoints are required. An alarm is generated when the process value reaches the setpoint. The alarm is removed when the process value passes the setpoint again in the right direction. In this mode, the delay time is only active when an alarm is set, not when it is reset.

  • Page 17: Menu 4 - Display

    BATTERY MODE The F190-A-OS has two modes: operational or shelf. After "shelf" has been selected, the F190-A-OS can be stored for several years; it will not process the sensor signal; the display is switched off but all settings are stored, also without additional battery.
  • Page 18 Page 18 FILTER The analog output signal of a sensor represents the actual process value. This signal is measured several times a second. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real value as it will be fluctuating. With the help of this digital filter a stable and accurate reading can be obtained while the filter level can be set to a desired value.

  • Page 19: Menu 7 - Analog Output
