. Ambient Pressure Compensation
Open the applied pressure to the surrounding air so that it equals the 
ambient pressure and press the   button for 3 seconds or more 
while the current value or reference value is being displayed.
The ambient pressure point will be corrected.
*1  Ambient pressure can be corrected within a range of ±5 % of F.S. 
  When atmospheric pressure compensation has been performed, the 
settings will be saved even when power to the sensor is turned off.
*2  AP-C31/C31P/C33/C33P: Can be used during focus mode operation 
as well. Values will be compensated based on the center pressure.

. Key Lock
Disables operations that would modify the sensor’s configuration. Display 
content can be toggled. 
Pressing and holding either   or   for at least 3 seconds while pressing 
 button will lock the keypad and cause the   display to flash.
 * The same key combination will deactivate the key lock feature.

. Error Displays and Corrective Actions
■
 Error displays during normal operation
•  No difference in sensitivity 
(during 2 point tuning/active 
tuning).
•  There is an applied pressure 
of 5 % of F.S. during ambient 
pressure compensation.
•  An excess current is flowing to the 
control output.
•  Reading is falling below 
(exceeding) configuration/display 
pressure range.
•  Reading is exceeding (falling 
below) configuration/display 
pressure range.
•  When there were not at least 2 
shift inputs during active 2 point 
tuning.
Adjust the air pressure device so that 
there will be a difference in sensitivity.
(Return to  atmospheric pressure.) 
Repeat atmospheric compensation.
Check  the  load  and  return  it  to  the 
rated range.
Return  the  pressure  to  the  rated 
pressure range.
Return  the  pressure  to  the  rated 
pressure range.
Repeat the active tuning procedure so 
that there are at least 2 shift inputs.
