Press the <PAR> button for 5 seconds. "MEnu" is shown to the left in the middle section
of the digital display. "PARAM" is shown to the right in the middle. "MEnu" flashes.
and buttons to select the parameters for the measurement channel to be
simulated. For measurement channel "1/So1", this is "P. 1" (SoCH1) for example.
and buttons, set the parameter value to "SIMU". "SIMU" is shown to the
left in the middle section of the digital display. The digital display appears as follows:
Middle section: SIMU SoCH1
Lower section: PAR P. 1
Simulation mode is set.
Use the and buttons to select the measurement channel which you wish to
simulate. Measurement channels 1 to 4 (1/So1 to 4/So4) are possible. For example, if
measurement channel 1 is selected, "1/So1" is displayed to the right in the middle section
of the digital display. "SIMU" is shown in the lower section of the digital display.
and buttons, set the desired measured value.
Switch to the parameter menu by pressing the <PAR> button for five seconds. The
parameter "P.1" (SoCH1) remains selected.
and buttons, set the parameter value "on L", "on H", "on_L" or "on_H".
Note
Exiting the simulation mode
The simulation mode is not automatically ended. Exit the simulation mode as described
above.
Note
Timers
If pre or main alarms are set in simulation mode, the timers count the trace function. If
necessary, set the counters back manually.
