Output signal response
• Last: The output current is frozen at its last value. Recommended
for short confi guration procedures. The process should not change
decisively during confi guration. Changes are not noticed with this
setting!
• Fix: The output current is set to a value that is noticeably diff erent
from the process value to signal the control system that the device
is being worked at.

Terminating the HOLD mode
The HOLD mode is ended by switching to measuring mode (hold
meas key depressed). The display reads "Good Bye", after that, the
HOLD mode is exited.
When the calibration mode is exited, a confi rmation prompt ensures
that the installation is ready for operation (e.g.: sensor reinstalled,
located in process).
