P980 Simulate 
Test mode is used to simulate the application and confirm that all 
parameters and relay setpoints have been entered as expected. During 
simulation, there is a choice of whether the relays will change state (hard 
simulation) or not (soft simulation), but the LED’s will always change colour 
as programmed, and the current output will change. If you want to test the 
logic of the system that the relays are connected to then select a hard 
simulation, but if you do not want to change the relay state, then select a 
soft simulation. 
There are two simulation modes, automatic and manual. Automatic 
simulation will move the level up and down between empty level or the pre-
determined Start Level (P983) and Pump/Control relay switch points, if you 
wish to change the direction of the level movement e.g., to go beyond relay 
setpoints, this can be done by using the arrow keys. In manual simulation, 
using the arrow keys will allow you to move the level up and down as 
required. 
The choices for you to enter are as follows. 
1= Manual soft simulation   
2= Automatic soft simulation   
3= Manual hard simulation   
4= Automatic hard simulation 
Whilst in Automatic hard simulation (P980 = 4) the switching of digital 
inputs can be simulated by pressing the corresponding numeric key to the 
input to be switched, each time the numeric key is pressed it will toggle the 
input between On and Off. 
To return to program mode, press ‘CANCEL’ and test mode will end.
