Description
Start level
Threshold value for event detection
End level
Threshold value – Hysteresis value
Start event
A start event occurs when the measured value exceeds the threshold value for event detection
and the definite time elapses. A start event occurs again only if the measured value rises above
the threshold value again after the value drops below the end level and an end event occurs.
The Event LED blinks only when a start event occurs.
End event
An end event occurs when the measured value drops below the end level. The Event LED is
turned off only with the SET button.
Hysteresis
When the measured values often exceed and fall below the threshold value for event detection,
it can cause multiple events to occur. Thus, for effective event management, it is necessary to
set up a proper hysteresis level.
