Abschluss: Ein direkter Austausch ist möglich. Die Hardware, Verkabelung und Kernfunktionen sind vollständig kompatibel. Der einzige Unterschied besteht in der Software- und Compliance-Version, die durch die letzte Ziffer angegeben wird, which will not affect normal operation. Below is the breakdown of model codes, differences and replacement guidelines.
- Digit-by-Digit Model Code Comparison (Only the last digit differs)
40T-48-4-00-RR-0-0-0-0 (Teile-Nr. F000187) vs 40T-48-4-00-RR-0-0-0-1 (Teile-Nr. F000188)
- 40T: Serie (40T48 48×48 mm Indicator / Alarm Unit)
- 48: Panel dimension: 48×48 mm (1/16 AUS)
- 4: 4-digit LED display
- 00: Stromversorgung: 100…240 V AC/DC
- RR: Ausgabe 1 & Ausgabe 2: Dual relays (5A / 250 V und)
- 0: 3rd output / Digitaler Eingang / Transmitter output: Keiner
- 0: Kommunikationsschnittstelle / 4th output: Keiner
- 0: Reserved bit
- Last digit: 0 = Legacy software / Basisversion; 1 = Updated software / Compliance certified version (CE, UL, usw.)
- Hauptunterschiede
Identical hardware: Terminallayout, Einbaumaße, power supply range, relay contact specifications and input types (Universal input: TC/RTD/Linear signal) are exactly the same. No wiring modification required.
Identische Funktionen: Both support 3 alarm points, on-panel/software programming and parameter password protection. The only distinction is the firmware version and compliance certification. The version ending with 1 is the updated fully compatible firmware.
Teilenummern: Model ending with 0 = F000187; Model ending with 1 = F000188.
- Ersatzempfehlungen & Notizen
- ✅ Direct replacement: Fully compatible in terms of installation, wiring and terminal definition. No rewiring needed.
- ⚠️ Mandatory operation: Reconfigure parameters (Eingabetyp, measuring range, Alarmschwelle, differential gap, usw.) after replacement. The new firmware is fully compatible with legacy parameter logic.
- Special scenario: If the original equipment requires traceability of special compliance certifications (z.B. matching UL/CE documents), verify whether strict model consistency is required on site. For general functional use, no issues will occur.

- On-site Check List after Replacement (Check item by item to avoid faults)
Inspektion vor dem Einschalten
- Mechanical mounting: Secure the instrument on the panel without looseness; cutout size complies with 48×48 mm.
- Wiring check: Überprüfen Sie die Stromversorgung, sensor and relay circuits per terminal table; ensure no loose connection, wrong wiring or short circuit.
- Power confirmation: On-site power supply is 100~240 V AC/DC within rated range.
Post-power-on Inspection
- Power-on test: 4-digit LED lights up normally, no black screen or flickering.
- Signal verification: Compare real-time reading with actual sensor value; ensure deviation is within allowable range.
- Alarm test: Simulate over-limit conditions manually; confirm two relays actuate/de-energize normally and external loads work properly.
- Parameter recheck: Keep range, alarm values and differential gap consistent with original settings.
Compliance Check (Execute as required)
General industrial sites / No certification traceability required: No extra operation needed.
Ausrüstung exportieren / Strict model & certificate consistency required: The new model ending with 1 is the certified version with complete CE/UL documents for filing.
- Häufige Fehler & Troubleshooting after Replacement
| Fehlerphänomen | Mögliche Ursachen | Lösungen |
| No display after power-on | 1. Reversed/loose power wiring | Klemmen wieder festziehen, measure input voltage and restore rated power supply |
| 2. Supply voltage out of range | ||
| Fluctuating / Inaccurate readings | 1. Poor sensor connection | Reconnect sensor cables and verify In.Ty parameter |
| 2. Wrong input type selected | ||
| Normal reading but relay no action | 1. Incorrect alarm value | Recheck AL1/AL2 thresholds and switch alarm mode |
| 2. Wrong alarm mode selected | ||
| Relay switches frequently | Excessively small differential gap | Increase dF1/dF2 value |
| Parameters reset automatically | Failed to exit menu completely / Stuck panel keys | Fully exit setting interface and clean foreign matters on keys |
- Ergänzende Hinweise
- Firmware compatibility: The updated firmware (ending with 1) is fully backward compatible with legacy parameter logic, with no function reduction or protocol mismatch.
- Spare parts procurement: Both models are interchangeable for reordering. The updated version ending with 1 is recommended for wider certification coverage.
- Long-term operation: The two models have identical service life and load capacity, and require no differentiated maintenance standards.
