Default value
Press “down” key continuously until the value reaches 1357
(please DO NOT modify this value; otherwise system confusion
may occur).
Press the two keys together once to return to main screen.
Main screen
Return to default value. The default sensor is PT100, which will be
displayed when DTA is not connected to a sensor or
thermocouple.
The model adopted in this example is: DTA4896R1 with firmware V3.50.
1. Make sure RS-485 hardware communication cable in DTA has been connected to the computer.
2. Make sure the communication parameters in DTA are consistent with those in the computer.
