Sensor replacement
A sensor can be replaced by a sensor of the same type or a
different type. If a sensor is replaced by one of the same type,
the sensor setup parameters from the sensor being removed
can be retained (see page 23) for use with the new sensor, or
set to use the values stored in the new sensor.
Replacing the sensor with a sensor of the same type
To replace a sensor of the same type and retain existing sensor
setup parameters:
1
page <?>. The diagnostic message S1 (to 2):Removed is
displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the main
Operator page.
NOTICE
To retain existing transmitter setup parameters for use
with the new sensor:
S1
(to 2):Removed warning is displayed. If sensor removal
is acknowledged, the transmitter configuration for the
channel is reset to factory defaults.
To maintain the value of analog, digital and relay outputs
during sensor replacement, press the key and select
Manual Hold from the Operator page menu.
If a failure current has been configured for an analog
output, the output’s value is not held. Sensor removal is
classed as a failure by the diagnostic system and this
overrides the existing analog output current.
