* Value does not affect the function type 
** Holds infinitely or until triggered 
As alternative to the linear decay an averaged decay was implemented. For selection see the following 
table. 
Table 10: Decay Functions 
Please note the different meanings of the parameters from “XE” and “AA”: 
  The linear decay rate (XE) is given in K/s 
  The  averaged  decay  (AA)  gives  the  time  when  the  signal  will  have  reached  90%  of  the  final 
temperature. 
10.9 Sensor Control 
10.9.1 Current Output 
The current output corresponds to the target temperature value. The output can be set to 0 – 20 mA or 
4 – 20 mA. 
XO=4  sets the current output range to 4 – 20 mA 
H=500  sets  the  temperature  for  the  top  current  output  value  to  500  (in  current  scale) 
e.g., the top current output value of 20 mA shall represent 500°C 
L=0  sets  the  temperature  for  the  bottom  current  output  value  to  0  (in  current  scale) 
e.g., the bottom current output value of 4 mA shall represent 0°C 
The minimum temperature span between “H” and “L” command values is 20 K. 
For testing purposes the output can be forced to provide a constant current value. 
O=13.57  output of a constant current at 13.57 mA 
O=60  switches back to the target temperature controlled output 
10.9.2 Relay Output 
The relay output (alarm output) can be triggered: 
  by target temperature 
  by internal sensor temperature 
  manually (command controlled) 
The alarm output can be set either to N.C. (normally closed: relay contacts are closed while in the home 
position) or N.O. (normally open: relay contacts are open while in the home position). 
K=2  alarm output triggered by target temperature and internal sensor temperature, N.O. 
normally open
