Function description
INPUTS o CURRENT INPUT o OPERATION
ACTUAL CURRENT
INPUT
(5240)
The actual value of the input current appears on the display.
Display:
0.0...25 mA
SIMULATION
CURRENT INPUT
(5241)
Use this function to activate simulation of the current output.
Options:
OFF
ON
Factory setting:
OFF
! Note!
• An active simulation is indicated by the
“SIM. CURRENT 1” (# 661) notice message.
• The value output for the simulation at the current input is defined in the function
VALUE SIMULATION CURRENT INPUT (5242).
• The measuring device remains fully operational during the simulation and the current
measured values are output correctly via the other outputs and the display.
" Caution!
The setting is not saved if the power supply fails.
VALUE SIMULATION
CURRENT INPUT
(5242)
! Note!
This function is only available if the function SIMULATION
CURRENT INPUT (5241) is switched on.
Use this function to specify a freely selectable value, e.g. 12 mA, which is to be simulated
at the current input. This value is used to test downstream devices and the measuring
device itself.
User input:
0.00...25.00 mA
Factory setting:
0.00 mA or 4 mA (depending on the setting in function 5201).
" Caution!
The setting is not saved if the power supply fails.
