OPEN
When all transmitters on the RS-485 bus are in POLL mode the OPEN
command sets one transmitter temporarily to STOP mode so that other
commands can be entered.
OPEN [aa]
where
aa = address of the transmitter (0 ... 99)
CLOSE
The CLOSE command switches the transmitter back to the POLL mode.
Example:
>OPEN 2 (opens the line to transmitter 2, other
transmitters stay in POLL mode)
>CRH (for example, calibration performed)
...
>CLOSE (line closed)
Sensor Functions
Chemical Purge (Optional)
In some specific applications the sensor gain may decrease gradually due
to an interference caused by a particular chemical present in the
measured gas, for example. The decrease of sensor gain due to an
interfering chemical and the effect of the chemical purge process are
illustrated below, see Figure 62 on page 130. The sensor polymer absorbs
the interf
ering chemical; and this reduces the ability of the polymer to
absorb water molecules and consequently the sensor gain decreases. In
chemical purge, heating the humidity sensor to a temperature level of
approximately +160 °C for several minutes evaporates the interfering
chemical.
The purge function starts with heating stage, continues with settling and
when the temperature of the sensor is decreased the transmitter returns to
normal mode. The whole cycle takes about 6 minutes.
NOTE
Chemical purge function locks the output values for about 6 minutes.
