HOW TO DEMOUNT SYSTEM 4000
Picture 1:
Detach the device from the DIN rail by lifting the bottom lock.
When front LED flashes red / 4501 display shows AO.ER
PR 4104 is designed as a device with a high safety level. Therefore, a continuous
measurement of the outgoing current is carried out on a 4...20 mA output signal.
If the analogue output current is 0 mA (can e.g. be caused by an open output
loop), an error mode switches on the red front LED and the 4501 display shows
AO.ER. This function is not a default option but must be actively selected in the
menu by programming the analogue output to S4-20. The error mode can only
be reset by switching off and then switching on the supply voltage to the device.

CONFIGURATION /
OPERATING THE FUNCTION KEYS
Documentation for routing diagram.
In general
When configuring the 4104, you will be guided through all parameters and you
can choose the settings which fit the application. For each menu there is a
scrolling help text which is automatically shown in line 3 on the display.
Configuration is carried out by use of the 3 function keys:
1 will increase the numerical value or choose the next parameter
2will decrease the numerical value or choose the previous parameter
3will accept the chosen value and proceed to the next menu
When configuration is completed, the display will return to the default state 1.0.
Pressing and holding 3will return to the previous menu or return to the default
state (1.0) without saving the changed values or parameters.
If no key is activated for 1 minute, the display will return to the default state (1.0)
without saving the changed values or parameters.
Further explanations
Password protection: Programming access can be blocked by assigning a
password. The password is saved in the transmitter in order to ensure a high
degree of protection against unauthorised modifications to the configuration.
Default password 2008 allows access to all configuration menus.
Signal and loop error info via display front 4501
Input loop error at 4-20 mA signal is displayed as LO.ER (see table page 14).
Input signals outside the selected range are displayed as IN.LO indicating
low input signal or IN.HI indicating high input signal. (see table page 14).
Error indication is displayed in line 1 as text and at the same time the backlight
flashes. A flashing bullet in line 4 is indicating correct functioning of 4501.
Signal and sensor error indication without display front
Status of the unit can also be read from the red/green LED in the front of the device.
Green flashing LED 13 Hz indicates normal operation.
Green flashing LED 1 Hz indicates loop error.
Steady green LED indicates internal error.
Steady red LED indicates fatal error.
