9.10.13 Failsafe
If there is a fault, Failsafe guides operation into a safe operating mode. Under
this function, the state of the measuring system is defined in case of a fault.
The settings for Failsafe refer to each mA output.
"Failsafe" can be triggered by signal loss at one or several optek inputs A, B, C
and / or D or at the mA-inputs 1 or 2. Lamp failure usually causes signal loss!
1. Select SYSTEM SETTINGS from the main menu and press [ENTER].
2. Select FAILSAFE and press [ENTER].
