2.6 Symbols used
Recommendations are designed to give you some assistance in your decision-making
process with respect to a certain function or a technical measure.
Refer to notes for special features of the device.
Display indicators show the status of the 7segment display on the S100:
Constant indication of characters, e.g. 8
Flashing indication of characters, e.g. 8
Alternating indication of characters, e.g. L and 2
The depiction of numbers on the 7segment display can be rotated by 180° with the aid of
the CDS-S100. In this document the depiction of the numbers on the 7segment display is
however always in the normal, non-rotated position.
LED symbols describe the status of an LED:
The “switching output in the OFF state” LED is illuminated continuously.
The “error/contamination” LED is flashing.
The LED is deactivated.
Instructions for taking action are shown by an arrow. Read carefully and follow the
