3. Specify the start-of scale and full-scale value of the analog input range: Parameter boxes
"Start-of-scale value for 0/4 mA" or "Full-scale value for 20 mA".
The start-of-scale and full-scale values must always be identical to those of the device
feeding in. Check the corresponding values of the external analyzer (measured value
type "Gas") or the sensor being used.
For the input to be accepted, the start-of-scale value must be lower than the full-scale
value.
4. Enter the user-specific name of the analog input: "Designation" parameter box.
You can use a maximum of seven characters when entering the designation.
5. Read off the measured value: Display of the current analog input value according to the
current analog input parameter assignment.
Setting the analog input to the measured value type "Other"
If you set this measured value type, the parameter and display fields "Gas" and "Unit" are
omitted.
1. Main menu > "2. Settings" > "09. Inputs/outputs" > "1. Analog inputs" > "Analog input n"
The measured value type is set to the value "Other". All measured values are output in
the unit "u" (undefined unit).
2. Specify the input range: "Analog input range" parameter box. Set one of the two possible
current ranges
– 4 to 20 mA
– 0 to 20 mA
3. Specify the start-of scale and full-scale value of the analog input range: Parameter boxes
"Start-of-scale value for 0/4 mA" or "Full-scale value for 20 mA".
The start-of-scale and full-scale values must always be identical to those of the device
feeding in. Check the corresponding values of the sensor being used.
For the input to be accepted, the start-of-scale value must be lower than the full-scale
value.
4. Enter the user-specific name of the analog input: "Designation" parameter box.
You can use a maximum of seven characters when entering the designation.
5. Read off the measured value: Display of the current analog input value according to the
current analog input parameter assignment.
