The following special properties have to be considered at operation of
the control unit:
- When operated with remote sensors with 4-20 mA
interfacethespecicationsofthe4-20mAinterfaceand
the behaviour below 4 mA and above 20 mA have to be
considered.
- The parameters “A/D-average” and “signal lter” shall
besettothesensor-specicdefaultvalues.Othersettings
shallonlybeusedinexceptional,justiedcircumstances
and with the manufacturer’s permission. For both
parameters, the lowest settings shall be used which are
possible for the application.
- Whenconguringthecontrolcards,thesensorspecic
default settings should be used for the error codes “ER80”,
“ER81”, “ER87” and “ER88” (parameters “signal over
range”, “signal under range”, “fault over range” and “fault
under range”).
- The error codes “ER87”, “ER88” and “ER81” (parameters
“fault over range”, “fault under range” and “signal under
range”) shall be set latching.
- When operated with remote sensors (e.g. Sensepoint)
which may deliver signals within the measuring range at
concentrations above the measuring range, the error
code “ER80” (parameter “signal over range”) shall be set
latching. If the parameter is set below the default value
all alarm relays shall be congured in such a way that
alarming also takes place in the presence of faults.
- For remote sensors with 4-20 mA interface the parameters
“signal over range” and “fault over range” shall be set in
such a way that during normal operation (including the
application of 100 % gas to the remote sensor) “ER80”
can be activated but not “ER87”.
- Theanalogueoutputsshouldbeoperatedwithlivezero
(4-20 mA setting). The “< 4 mA clipping” feature should
be activated only in exceptional cases.
- Irrespective of the operating mode of the analogue output,
the“faultlevel”and“inhibitlevel”shallbeconguredto
different values outside the measuring range. The
signalling of faults and inhibits at the analogue output
shall be activated.
