  • Page 56: System Functions

    12.5 System Functions This chapter describes technically sophisticated functions. The default settings are already set for most application areas. Therefore, we recommend only adjusting these parameters in the respective application cases. If the product has any malfunctions, activate the default settings again first. If you need to contact our hotline, ensure that the device is back in its standard configuration.
  • Page 57 Example: The switching input was configured to trigger an alarm at HIGH level. The IDLE countdown starts when the input IN1 has reached the LOW condition. If the alarm condition of input IN1 is reached again during the IDLE time (HIGH level), the countdown is reset but no alarm is triggered (IDLE time did not elapse).

  • Page 58: Voltage Hysteresis (Hysvolt)

    12.5.2. Voltage Hysteresis (HYSVOLT) The default settings were already chosen to be suitable for most applications. Changes are only necessary in exceptions. The hysteresis function was programmed to prevent undesired alarms. Hysteresis will cause the alarm threshold to change after the hysteresis value is exceeded. This requires the analogue value to enter the permitted area further before the alarm condition is reset.

  • Page 59: Resetting To Basic Setting (Reset Setup)

    12.5.3 Resetting to Basic Setting (RESET SETUP) If you want to reset the product to the default settings at delivery, use the following command: RESET SETUP 12345678 #1513  All previously made settings are lost and are deleted definitely. The PIN number of the SIM card is not changed when resetting to default. After restart, the product therefore is unable to register again (SIM card = last PIN set, product = 1513).
