6.3 Enter the demonstration mode
In this mode, the signal processing method is optimized for demo situations when
simulating a product surface with, for example, a measurement target plate.
Note
This mode is intended for demonstration purposes only, and should not be used for
normal operations.
Prerequisites
The demonstration mode will reset the following parameters to factory settings:
• Measurement recovery time
• Negative level
• Damping value
When returning to default mode, you will therefore need to reconfigure these parameters
(if desired).
Procedure
1. Under
Menu, select Parameter → Service Tools → Application Mode.
2. Select Enter Demonstration Mode.
Postrequisites
Select Exit Demonstration Mode to return to normal operation (default mode).
6.4 Replacing the O-ring
The process wetted O-ring should be checked periodically. Replace with O-ring designed
for Rosemount 1408H if there are any signs of damage.
Procedure
1.
Secure the transmitter and adapter using a vise.
