ADJUSTING THE SWITCHING POINTS (SP) AND RESET POINTS (RP)

Press and hold the SP button. The display will show the previous switching pressure setting, and the dotted bar will flash while the button is pressed down (case 1).
You can now use the cursor keys to adjust the switching point upwards or downwards. If a cursor key is held down, the values will change faster. When the cursor key is released again, the

supply is switched on. Release this button again after the power supply has been switched on. The display will then show the buffering time in milliseconds (e.g. 03) or seconds. The cursor buttons ▼, ▲ can be used to set the buffering time to 03, 06, 12, 24 or 50 ms or 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 seconds. When this has been done, press SP to store the setting.
d)Setting the pressure switch to ambient pressure = 0.
Since ambient pressure varies according to altitude, the user may
Press the button RP before the power supply is switched on. Release this button again after the power supply has been switched on and the display test has run. The display will then show "OFS". The cursor buttons ▼, ▲ can be used to set the pressure display to 0. When this has been done, press SP to store the setting.
e) Hysteresis mode
If it is desired to operate with a fixed hysteresis value instead of the reset point, this value can be selected as desired.
In order to set a hysteresis value, the two buttons SP and ▼ must be pressed simultaneously before the power supply is switched on.
Release these buttons again after the power supply has been switched on and the display test has run. The display will then show the operating mode. The cursor buttons ▲,▼ can now be used to change the operating mode until "HYS" appears in the display. When this has been done, press SP to store the setting.
The SP button can be used to display the

f) Window mode
If it is desired to monitor whether the pressure lies within a certain range, a switching window can be created for this purpose. The pressure switch will then indicate cases in which the actual pressure lies above or below this area. In order to set a switching window, the two buttons SP and ▼ must be pressed simultaneously before the power supply is switched on.
Release these buttons again after the power supply has been switched on and the display test has run. The display will then show the operating mode.
The cursor buttons ▲,▼ can now be used to change the operating mode until "FEn" (standing for "Window") in the display. When this has been done, press SP to store the setting. The button SP can be used to display the
The distance between the switching point and reset point is the switching window. If the switching point is lower than the reset point, a signal will be output as long as the pressure lies within the preset window (case 1, rising pressure). If the switching point is higher than the reset point, a signal will be output as long as the pressure lies outside the preset window (case 2, rising pressure). In the case of falling pressure, the signal is inverted.
Case 1

You can now use the cursor keys to adjust the reset point in the same manner as described above.
During both adjustment operations, it may occur that the hysteresis graph changes from one state to another at the time a transition is made through the point "Switching pressure = Reset pressure".

hysteresis graph will also be correct. You can change between SP and RP as often as you wish until the settings are correct.
c) Setting a buffering time.
In order to prevent brief pressure “spikes” or “surges” from causing undesired switching, a buffering time can be entered. The effect of this is that pressure changes are evaluated only if the pressure signal in question is present for longer than the buffering time. In order to set a buffering time, press the button SP before the power
Positive hysteresis means: Signal “on” with falling pressure (case 2).
If the switching point is modified, this will automatically also result in a change in the reset point by a value equal to the hysteresis setting.
