2. Observe holding time of 1 minute, compare measured value with
the calculated current value
3. Raise the level to directly below the switching point
4. Observe holding time of 1 minute, compare measured value with
the calculated current value
Range monitoring:
1. Move to level immediately above the upper range limit
2. Observe holding time of 1 minute, compare measured value with
the calculated current value
3. Move to three levels within the range limits (upper, middle, lower
value)
4. Observe holding time respectively of 1 minute, compare meas-
ured values with the calculated current values
5. Move to level immediately below the lower range limit
6. Observe holding time of 1 minute, compare measured value with
the calculated current value
Result:
The measured output current must in all cases correspond to the
output current calculated for the respective level.
Note:
You have to determine the permissible deviation of the values your-
self. This deviation depends on the the accuracy requirements of your
measurement loop. For this, determine the permissible tolerance for
the deviation.

In the case of further parameter adjustments after initial setup, the de-
vice checks the current checksum (CRC) of the parameters respec-
tively.Thisdetermineswhetherqualiedmeasurementdataarestill
available for safety-oriented instrumentation.
Note:
If the current checksum is identical to the last checksum, the setup
assistant no longer needs to be run through. In this case, the param-
eter adjustment is completed by simply " Verify and lock".
