on the display circuit board. Example 1:
P01 = 024.0 l/s
P02 = 010 s
P03 = Hi
Alarm is triggered when the flow is above 24 l/s (i.e.
Flow ind. 24.5 l/s) for more than 10 seconds.
Example 2:
Pressure ind. P01 = 05.00 m3/h
P02 = 060 s
P03 = Lo
Alarm is triggered when the flow is below 5 m3/h (i.e.
4.8 m3/h) for more than 60 seconds.
