Advanced possiblities
The unit allows following useful advanced possibilities, which are related to the position of
the potentiometer.
Indicating the actual position of the potentiometer
1 second after stopping to turn the potentiometer, the yellow LED blinks for a few times,
then stops blinking. This allows to identify the actual position of the potentiometer which
enables more easy service in case external technicians are contacted.
Note: The signal output (IO-Link / PNP / NPN / Push-Pull) does not follow the blinking. See
Table below.
Relation of potentiometer position to sensitivity
The position of the potentiometer is directly related to the dielectric constant and therefore
to the sensitivity of the unit.
See Table below.
