Parameters
4.2.9. Acknowledge 
Acknowledges the current maintenance reminder.
To acknowledge an alert via the handheld programmer: 
a) Press RIGHT arrow   twice to open parameter view and activate Edit 
Mode.
b) Press RIGHT arrow   to acknowledge the alert.
4.3.  Remaining Sensor Lifetime
The device monitors the predicted lifetime of the sensor (the components exposed to 
the vessel environment). You can modify the expected sensor lifetime, set up schedules 
for maintenance alerts, and acknowledge them. 
To access these parameters via AMS Device Manager see Remaining Sensor 
Lifetime on page 56 under 
Maintenance & Diagnostics (LTB)
.
4.3.1. Lifetime Expected
Allows you to override the factory default.
4.3.2. Time in Operation
The amount of time the sensor has been operating. Can be reset to zero after 
performing a service or replacing the sensor.
To reset to zero:
•  Via the handheld programmer, manually reset Time in Operation (4.3.2.) to 
zero.
Notes: 
• Default settings in the parameter tables are indicated with an asterisk (*) unless 
explicitly stated.
• Four sets of parameters allow you to monitor the Device/Sensor Lifetimes and 
set up Maintenance/Service schedules, based on operating hours instead of a 
calendar-based schedule. See also Remaining Device Lifetime (4.2.), Service 
Schedule (4.4.), and Calibration Schedule (4.5.).
• Performing a reset to Factory Defaults will reset all the Maintenance Schedule 
parameters to their factory defaults.
• The device operates in years. To view Remaining Sensor Lifetime parameters in 
hours (via AMS Device Manager only) see 
Remaining Sensor Lifetime 
 on page 
56.
Values
Units: years
Range: 0 to 20 years
Default: 10.00 years
