Oxi 170/ Description Oxi 296 Operating levels The instrument functions are incorporated in three levels that are consecutively structured to ensure a clear and transparent structure. This structure ensures that the user is provided with an instrument that, although it has universal options, can still be set so that unauthorized actions do not interfere with the reliable measuring mode.

Oxi 170/ Description Oxi 296 Note: After a power fail, the instrument returns to the previous operating mode. All settings are preserved.
II, i.e. no protective earth conductor is required. Do not connect the protective earth conductor to a terminal potential or supply line or feed it into the instrument! Only authorized WTW technicians are allowed to change the instrument fuse.
Oxi 170/ Installation Oxi 296 "SENS-CHECK" connection The "SENS-CHECK" relay is designed as a closing contact that is electrically isolated from the instrument; it is then always active (= closed) if a sensor error occurs. This message is also output on the display. Sensor errors in the switching station are displayed using the relay.
Oxi 170/ Installation Oxi 296 RS 485 digital interface (RS option) The RS 485 interface operates with differential levels that are not susceptible to interference. In this way, cable lengths of up to 1 km long can be implemented. The instruments are connected via a 2-wire line.

Parameterization RS 485 interface (RS option) The parameterization of the RS 485 interface is described in a separate manual that is included within the scope of delivery of instruments with a RS 485 interface (RS instrument version). Setting up the code The setting of a code prevents changes to the configuration and parameterization of the instrument by the unintentional or erroneous pressing of an input key.
Parameterization Temperature compensation The -* submenu enables compensation of the temperature measuring sensor tolerances in the test probe (shifting of the zero point by a maximum of 0.5 °C). Place the measuring probe in a vessel containing at least 2 liters of water due to its thermal capacity.
