25.3.2. DBND – Insensitivity range (dead band)
This function causes the process controller to respond from a specific control difference only. This protects both
the solenoid valves in Type 8792/8793 and the pneumatic actuator.
Factory setting: 1.0 % with reference to the range of the scaled process actual value
(setting in the menu PV-SCALE → PVmin → PVmax).

25.3.3. KP – Amplification factor of the process controller
The amplification factor specifies the P-contribution of the PID controller
(can be set with the aid of the P.TUNE function).
