3.2: Device Test
3.2.1: Self-test
Check device state
The device integrates the self-test routines in the ongoing measurements; it completes
them after approximately 10 seconds. It confirms a successful self-test with the display
OK. The display not OK signals an error. Read out the error type according to Parameter
3. 1 .x.
3.2.2: Display test
Visual check of LCD
You can test the LCD with this function. The display first goes blank for 5 seconds and
then lights up for another 5 seconds so that you can determine whether individual display
points have failed.
3.3: Simulation
This parameter can support testing the correct functions of the connections during
commissioning or maintenance of the device. With the two sub-parameters, you can
temporarily replace the measured values at the analog and digital output with known
simulated output values.
Note:
The Simulation parameter influences output to the control system.
3.3.1: Simulate AO (F = 4 mA)
Simulation of the analog output signal
Value
When this parameter is accessed and a value is entered, the device sets the defined
current value that can be validated.
Complete the parameter function by touching
measured value.
