The optional HMI Service/Display unit is used for 
commissioning and quick on-site setup and is 
easily mounted on the AKS 4100/4100U.
The service unit supports mulitple languages in 
both SI and US units.
Supported standard languages:
English (default), German, French, Spanish

*  DISTANCE is a display option. 
  If the display is set to “DISTANCE” the displayed  
  value will be the distance from the Reference  
  point to the top surface of the liquid refrige-   
  rant (see page 7 and 8).
** LEVEL is  display option. 
  If the display is set to “LEVEL” then the value 
  displayed will be: 
  PROBE LENGTH (entered in QUICK SETUP) 
  – DISTANCE (see page 7 and 8).
***  OUTPUT  (%) is  display option. 
     Will represent the level of refrigerant,in 
     percent, scaled (entered in QUICK SETUP)  
     according to: SCALE 4 mA (0%), SCALE 20    
     mA (100%) (see page 7 and 8)
**** OUTPUT I (mA) is  display option. 
       Will represent the level of refrigerant,in 4-20 
       milliampere, scaled (entered in QUICK 
       SETUP) according to: SCALE 4 mA (4 mA),  
       SCALE 20 mA (20 mA) (see page 7 and 8).
