6.8 Setting Mid-Point
The function „Setting mid-point“ displaces the analog measurement value to the value for the mid-point of the
measurement range, so +5 V respectively 12 mA.
The action „set mid point“ can be activated in three different ways:
- Press the button Zero/Select on the sensor. Afterwards the red LED flashes “Zero”. The initial state is
reached by a second press.
- External Low-Signal at the input “Zero”.
Connect GND 0.5 ... 3 s: SET (mid-point)
Connect GND 3 ... 6 s: RESET (reset)
At firmware version 6.000 using the command “SETZero”, see Chap. 8.5.21

IMPORTANT!
“Master“ is only
available in “Switch
mode“ and “Set mid-
point“ is only available
in “Error mode“, see
Chap. 6.5.
“Master“ or “Set mid-
point“ requires that an
object to be measured
is within the measure-
ment range.
“Set Midpoint“ has an
influence on the
analog and digital

output.
