2.1 Normal Mode
In normal mode, the gas concentrations of the active transmitters are continuously polled and displayed at the LCD
display in a scrolling way. The Controller also monitors the communication to all active transmitters and modules.
2.2 Alarm Mode
If the gas concentration reaches the programmed alarm threshold, the alarm is started, the assigned alarm relay

4.1.3 System Errors
The following system error messages are recorded:
SPXX > 22 mA
SPXX < 3 mA
Sensor signal at transmitter out of the measuring range.
Cause: Transmitter not calibrated, defective.
Solution: Calibrate transmitter, replace transmitter.
SPXX > 22 mA Current signal at analog input SPXX > 22 mA.
Cause: Short-circuit at analog input, analog transmitter not calibrated, or defective.
Solution: Check cable to analog transmitter, make calibration, replace the analog transmitter.
SPXX < 3 mA Current signal to analog input SPXX < 3 mA.
Cause: Wire broken at analog input, analog transmitter not calibrated, or defective.
Solution: Check cable to analog transmitter, make calibration, replace the analog transmitter.

EP 0X Error: Communication error to expansion module EP 0X.
(Only active, if EP 0X is registered).
Cause:
EP module address not correct. (See Commissioning.)
Bus line to EP 0X module interrupted.
No power supply at the EP 0X module.
EP module defective.
Solution:
Check and correct the EP module address.
Check the bus cable and the power supply.
Replace the EP 0X module.
Maintenance: System maintenance is necessary.
Cause: Maintenance date exceeded.
Solution: Perform the maintenance.
SPXX Locked: This SP input is locked (SP is physically present, but cancelled by the operator)
Cause: Operator intervention.
Solution: Eliminate the cause of a possible fault and then unlock the SP.

4.6.4 Measuring Range Denition
The measuring range can be adjusted to the working range of the connected gas transmitter within 10 to 10000.
4.6.5 SP Signal Denition
Gas transmitter using electro-chemical or catalytic beat gas sensors normally produce a linear signal, proportional to
the gas concentration.
Semiconductor gas sensors produce a non-linear (exponential) signal due to the measuring function. This signal leads
again to a non-linear 4 to 20 mA signal of the gas transmitter.
