6.3.3 Turning the Control Functions Off
Turning the control functions off allows the controller to operate just as a pressure indicator, keeping the
control output and the alarms disconnected. Use of this feature is enabled or disabled by the control
functions shutdown options (F23). When enabled, the control functions are turned off
([CTRL][OFF,]) or on ([Ctrl][ON,,]) through the quick access menu in the option [Ctrl].
When the control functions are off, the message [OFF,] will be displayed alternately with the
pressure and the other messages. It is also possible to switch the control functions on / off by pressing
the ; key for five seconds.
Note: When the control functions are switched back on, the time set in the delay function when the
instrument is powered on (initial delay) is counted.
6.3.4 Minimum and Maximum Pressure Records
Pressing the<(short press) key while the pressure is being displayed will show the message
[rEg,]and then the minimum pressure and maximum pressure recorded.
Note.: If the <key is pressed while the records are being displayed the values will be reset and the
message [rSeT,] will be displayed.

6.3.2 Function blocking
The use of the functions lockdown brings greater security to the operation of the instrument. When it is
active, the setpoint and other parameters can be visible to the user, but are protected against undue
change [F21 = 2] or you can simply block changes to control functions and leave the adjustments of the
setpoint and hysteresis enabled [F21 = 1].
To active the functions lock, access the [LOC] option in the quick access menu. The [no,] message
will be displayed (lock must be enabled and inactive). With that on the display, press the > key for the
the time configured for the functions lock (F22), the activation is indicated by the
[LOC][On,]message. To enable the use of this function, F21 must be configured with 1 or 2. The
message [LOC] when you try to change the parameters indicates that the function lock is active. To
turn it off, turn controller off and on again with the key> pressed and hold it down until the message
[LOC][OFF] indicates the unlocking (10 seconds).

6.3.5 Alarm inhibition
A pressure alarm can be inhibited by pressing > for two seconds. For new alarm indications, it is
necessary for the instrument to leave the alarm condition and then enter it again, and remain in this
condition until the alarm validation time (F15) is exceeded.
6.3.6 Hour meter
The hour meter indicates the number of working hours of the compressor control output. The hour meter
can be viewed through the quick access menu (;) in the option [Hour] , and the working time of the
output is displayed in hours. The working time of the output for maintenance purposes can be configured
through function F16.
When the number of working hours of the compressor reaches the value set in this function, the display
will show a warning [Man1] indicating that the compressor must be serviced. To switch the alert off or
to reset the hour meter, access the option [rHou] in the quick access menu ( ;) and press/. The
message [rst1] will be displayed indicating that the counter has been reset.
6.3.7 Selection of the units of measurement for pressure
To select the unit in which the device will operate, enter the function using the access code [F01]
[231] / [PSI,] [bar,] or>.Then, press the key. The select the desired unit or using the keys<,
and press /to confirm. Whenever the units are changed, the functions configuration assumes the
factory default, so they must be configured again.
6.4 Advanced Operations
6.4.1 Access to the main menu
The functions menu can be accessed through the quick access menu, using the [Func] option or by
simultaneously pressing the< or >keys whilst the pressure is being displayed. To allow the
parameters to be changed, enter by pressing keys enter [F01] /(quick touch) and using the< or >
code 123 (one hundred and twenty-three), and then confirm with /. To change the other functions,
browse the menu using the < or >keys and proceed the same way to adjust them. To exit the menu
and return to the normal operation display, press /(long press) until [----]is displayed.
Note: If the functions lock is a [LOC]ctive, the controller will show the message in the display upon
pressing >< or and will not allow the changing of parameters.
6.5.1 Description of the parameters
F01 - Access Code:
Required when you want to change setup parameters. This code is not required for viewing the
parameters.
It allows entering the access codes provided:
[,123]- Allows the access to change the parameters of the table;
[,231]- Allows configuring the units of measurement [PSI,] or [bar,].
F02 - Operation mode:
This function allows configuring the operating mode of the instrument.
[,,,0]- Depressurization;
[,,,1]- Pressurization.
F03 - Setpoint:
This is the reference value for pressure control.
F04 - Control differential
It is pressure difference (hysteresis) between switching the control output ON and OFF. E.g.: To control
the pressure in 150 PSI with a differential of 20 PSI. Therefore, in the depressurizing mode, the output
will be switched off at 150 PSI and switched back on at 170 PSI (150+20).
In the pressurizing mode, the output will be switched off at 150 PSI and switched back on at 130 PSI
(150-20).

F05 - Minimum output off time (delay between activations):
The minimum time the output will remain off, i.e. the length of time between the last stop and the next start up.
The main purposes of this function are: minimize interferences in the mains of the facility caused by the
simultaneous activations of loads and avoid unnecessary activation of loads when there are fast variations of
pressure in the system.
This function can be disable by adjusting it to the minimum value 0 [no,,].
F06 - Sensor indication displacement (Offset):
Allow for the compensation of deviations in the pressure reading of the sensor.

F12 - Alarm mode:
Selects how the instrument checks for the presence of an alarm. The activation of this function allows
displaying the alarm or switching off the control output.
[OFF,] - Alarm turned off;
[,,,1]- Absolute out-of-range alarm acting in the output:
Considers the values defined in [,F13] and [,F14] as minimum and maximum values to display an
alarm and shut down the control output;
[,,,2] - Absolute out-of-range alarm (indication only):
Considers the values defined in [,F13] and [,F14] as minimum and maximum values to display
an alarm;
[,,,3] - Out-of-range alarm relating to the output acting setpoint:
Considers the [,F03] setpoint and the absolute values defined in [,F13] and [,F14], i.e., the
positive value of these functions as minimum and maximum values to display the alarm ans shut down
the control output.
Limits: ([,F03] - [,F13] and [,F03] + [,F14]).
[,,,4] - Out-of-range alarm relating to the setpoint (indication only):
Considers the [,F03] setpoint and the absolute values defined in [,F13] and [,F14], i.e., the
positive value of these functions as minimum and maximum values to display the alarm.
Limits: ([,F03] - [,F13] and [,F03] + [,F14]).
F13 - Low-pressure alarm:
F14 - High-pressure alarm:
These are the minimum and maximum values to activate the pressure alarm. If the value of function F12
is different from [OFF,] and if these values are exceeded, the instrument indicates the low pressure
messages [,PLo] or high pressure [,Phi], but these events occur in the alarms only after the time
and conditions defined in function F15.
F15 - Alarm validation time:
This is time that the alarm will remain deactivated, even under alarm conditions. This inhibition time
starts being counted after the power on delay expires.
A low pressure [,Plo] or high pressure [,Phi] event must remain in this condition for the time set in
this function for the instrument to generate a low pressure alarm [APLo] or high pressure alarm
[APhi] and act on the control output according to the value defined in function F12.
If an alarm is inhibited by the user (by pressing the >key for two seconds or through the digital inputs),
this time is reset.
This function can be disabled by adjusting it to the minimum value 0 [no,,].
F16 - Operating time of the output for maintenance:
Whenever the output is activated the apparatus will count its operating time.
When the counted time is equal or longer than the one set in this function, the display will show the
message [Man1], signalizing that the compressor must be serviced.
F17 - Digital input operating mode 1:
It allows choosing the operating mode of the digital input 1.
[,,,0] - Disable;
[,,,1] - NO contact acting on the output by switching it off (external alarm);
[,,,2] - NC contact acting on the output by switching it off (external alarm);

[,,,1] - NO contact acting on the output by switching it off (external alarm);
[,,,2] - NC contact acting on the output by switching it off (external alarm);
[,,,3] - NO contact, enables the control (external switch);
[,,,4] - NC contact, enables the control (external switch);
[,,,5] - NO contact, alarm inhibition;
[,,,6] - NC contact, alarm inhibition.
F19 - Digital input operating mode 3:
It allows choosing the operating mode of the digital input 3.
[,,,0] - Disable;
[,,,1] - NO contact acting on the output by switching it off (external alarm);
[,,,2] - NC contact acting on the output by switching it off (external alarm);
[,,,3] - NO contact, enables the control (external switch);
[,,,4] - NC contact, enables the control (external switch);
[,,,5] - NO contact, alarm inhibition;
[,,,6] - NC contact, alarm inhibition;
[,,,7] - NO contact, acting on the output by switching it on independently of the control (external
test);
[,,,8] - NC contact, acting on the output by switching it on independently of the control (external
test).
NOTE: For safety reasons, when the alarm limits [APLo] or [APHi] are reached, the output is
switched off.
F20 - Time for setpoint validation:
Upon reaching the setpoint the pressure must remain in this condition until this time has elapsed and
then switch off the control output (it avoids overshooting in the pump/compressor activation). This
function can be disabled by adjusting it to the minimum value 0 [no,,].
NOTE: For safety reasons, when the alarm limits [APLo]or [APHi]are reached, the output is
switched off.
F21 - Functions lock mode:
This enables and configures the functions lock.
[,,,0] - Does not allow the function block;
[,,,1] - It allows a partial lock where the control functions will be locked but the adjustment of the
setpoint and hysteresis (by quick access), date views, and maximum and minimum record views are
allowed.
[,,,2] - It allows the full lock, enabling only the date views and maximum and minimum record views.
F22 - Time for functions lock:
Allows lockdown of control functions (see item 6.3.2)
[,,15] - [,,60] - Defines the time in seconds for the controller to activate.

F07 - Minimum setpoint allowed to the final user:
Prevents accidental setting of extemely low setpoint pressures.
F08 - Maximum setpoint allowed to the final user:
Prevents accidental setting of extremely high setpoint pressures.
F09 - Delay when powering the instrument on (initial delay):
This is the time elapsed from initialization, during which the instrument just displays the pressure without
activating outputs or validating alarms. In facilities with several equipment units, assigning different values to
the delay time at the start up of each device will allow for demand peaks to be avoided when the devices are
activated at different times.
This function can be disabled by adjusting it to the minimum value 0 [no,,]
F10 - Lower pressure limit of the sensor (pressure at 4mA):
Pressure applied to the pressure sensor when the output current is 4mA.
F11 - Higher pressure limit of the sensor (pressure at 20mA):
Pressure applied to the pressure sensor when the output current is 20mA.
