RMZ4 modules (RMZ4-xx
04
-xxxx) with integrated optical sensing support these parameters. These integrated
sensors are activated by setting the Sensor Bus to 4 and selecting instance 1, 2, 3, or 4. These parameters are
also available from RMF modules connected and mapped as a normal RM module input in that case.

Description
Optical Sensor Type
0x4nn1
0x68
0x14
Sets a sensor curve to match the connected
probe type. The device supports 3 probe
curves.
After changing the curve type, send a
SaveNonVolatileParameters command and
cycle power to the unit. The probe curve is
only loaded on power-up.
0 = Type 0 is the Watlow standard probe
1 = Type 1 is a legacy probe
2 = Type 2 is customizable
Optical Sensor Warning
0x4nn1
0x68
0x2E
Sets a warning point for the probe LED current.
The default is 15mA. When the LED current
exceeds this level the status indicator on the
front on the module will flash green and red
alternately. This can occur if the optical
pathway is becoming opaque or the extension
cable is not properly seated.
Optical Sensor Error
0x2nn0
0x65
0x02
Indicates an error with the sensor probe.
Optical Sensor LED Current
0x2nn0
0x65
0x11
Indicates the optical sensor LED current used to
actuate the luminescent probe. Increasing
current can indicate increasing attenuation in
the extension cable.
