End programming mode
Press the ESC-key to return to parameter group
selection display. Press the ESC-key a second time
to close the programming menu and return to the start
menu.
If no key has been pressed during 5 minutes, the
program menu is closed automatically.

MF-PFA-PU has 2 output signals which can be set
to either 0..10 Volt, 2..10 Volt, 0..20 mA or 4..20 mA.
Both Volt and mA are simultaneously available for both
outputs.
• P08/P11 Source, is used to select which measuring
value/signal (source) to direct as output signal. ‘dP’
is the pressure signal, ‘FLOW’ is the flow signal and
‘CTRL’ is the control signal from the PI-controller.
• P09/P12 Signal V is used to switch between 0..10
Volt and 2..10 Volt output signal.
• P10/P13 Signal mA is used to switch between
0..20 mA and 4..20 mA output signal.
With activated purging function, the purging unit PU3 is
connected to output 1 (Volt or mA) and the parameter
(P09 or P10) is hidden in the parameter list. If the unit
is fitted with built-in automatic zero-setting module
MFM-ZP, it is connected to output 2 (Volt or mA) and
the parameter (P12 or P13) is hidden in the parameter
list. It is still possible to use the free output signal on
both outputs for the selected source.

• P15/P16 MinCal[Pa] / MaxCal[Pa],
The MF-PFA-PU is factory calibrated for a specific
range. The range is written on a label located on
the right side of the enclosure. The calibration is
always in Pascal (Pa). Min cal and Max cal is the
calibrated pressure range in Pa. These values are
notes and not possible to change.
• P17 Unit dP, Select in which unit to display the
pressure. The alternatives are Pa, mbar or iwc
(inch water column).
• P18 Decimals, Number of decimals to show for the
pressure value. When using Pa as unit it is recom-
mended not to use decimals.
In case any set value is above 32767 regardless of
where the decimal point is placed the adjustment is
not carried out.
E.g. If Set Point = 5000 and one decimal is se-
lected, the adjustment will not work since the value
5000,0 is greater than the allowed max value of
3276,7. Of the same reason, 500,0 cannot be
adjusted to 500,00.
• P19/P20 Min range / Max range
When programming a new unit, min and max limits
in the new unit are displayed in parameter Min
range and Max range. These values are notes and
are not changeable.
• P21 Min out, Lower limit for scaling the output
signal is set in pressure units, e.g. 10 Pa will result
at 10 Pa pressure the min output signal of, 0/2 V
resp. 0/4 mA.
• P22 Max out, Higher limit for scaling the output
signal is set in pressure units, e.g. 90 Pa will result
at 90 Pa pressure the max output signal of 10 V
resp. 20 mA.
• P23 Sign dP, If the transmitter is without zero
crossing, the MF-PFA-PU will indicate a negative
pressure similar to positive pressure (i.e. Without
negative sign). When programming Sign dP =
‘NEG’ a negative sign (-) is shown in front of the
current value.
To change the range for the output signal, the Min out
and Max out are programmed. Programmed values
