5.3 Input of the basic settings
5.3.1 Connection of the sensor to a slot and output
After starting-up and identifying the sensor, the converter needs to know how it shall be used.
Therefore a connection wizards with the question if you want to connect the sensor with the first
free slot appears on the converter display
Connection to a slot
• Choose "Yes" or "No" with the help of ↑ or ↓ and confirm by pressing ^.
i If you chose "Yes", the converter jumps to the choice of the 4...20 mA output. If you chose
"No", the converter jumps to the next free slot and asks again if you want to connect the
sensor.
• If you chose "No", repeat the previous procedure until you find a suitable free slot.
After connecting the sensor with a slot the converter asks which output you want to use. If you
added a sensor to slot 1 or 2, the converter asks if the corresponding 4...20 mA output should be
used, unless another sensor uses it (you can change the use of an output in the submenu
"Analog" of the main menu "Settings", on page 31):
Second step: Choice of 4...20 mA output
• Choose "Yes" or "No" with the help of ↑ or ↓ and confirm by pressing ^.
i If you chose "Yes", the connection procedure is complete and the device returns to the
normal measuring mode. If you chose "No", the converter jumps to the next output and
asks again if you want to use it.
• If you chose "No", repeat the previous procedure until you find a free current output.
INFORMATION!
If no slot is free, the converter display shows an error message and demands to free slots. You
can free slots with no sensor currently connected in the converter menu; the description for this
procedure is in preparation, you will find it in the converter documentation.
INFORMATION!
If you connect an identical sensor, you can reuse the slot of the former sensor if both have the
same software revision. To quickly get the new sensor running, it inherits most of the
configuration and calibration of the old sensor. This calibration will not be perfect since it has
been done for another sensor, but it will be closer than the factory default.
