You may eneter the hysteresis values by this menu. This menu is for blocking the relay flickers. After
the value which is setted, relays activate contacts or reactivates the contacts. There will not be any
action during hysteresis. So the negligible value should be entered. To change the hysteresis values
Hys-up and Hys-dn menus are used. Hys-up values are active while pass over the set values, hys-dn
values are active while dropbelow the set values.To set the hysteresis values press and hold Prg button
and press Rst button. Find the menus hys-up and hys-dn by UP DOWN buttons. Press Prg button to

Const menu allows to set constant factor for displaying the different resolutioned sensor as intended
values. You can determine display value for each edge or pulse. For example for 25 micron resolution
sensor 0,0025 value will be seted in CONST menu. By this way when the sensor goes 25 mm you can
see it as 25 on the display.
Menu if you press prg button you will see the setted value on the display. If you press to PRG button
again the first digit will be flashing. You can change it by UP DOWN buttons. To pass to the other digit

It is Autoreset mode. In this mode OUT-1 depend on
the OUT-2. It should be enter the TOUT-2 is time and
the TOUT-1 is HOLD. Namely, when the counting value
reachs to Set-1, the OUT-1 turn on and if decrease

reachs to Set-2, the OUT-2 turn on and the counting
value is held.
The counting value and outputs will be auto-reseted in
the end of the TOUT-2 time.
It is also Autoreset mode same as Output-4
The difference is the counting value isn’t held, namely
after reached to Set-2, the instrument continue to
