condition).
This output is available when “Self-diagnostic abnormal” is selected in
[6.5.5 Contacts output item selection] in the engineering mode.

5.2 Overflow/underflow
● “oFL” is displayed when the measured temperature is higher than (the maximum value of
measuring range + 20)ºC.
● “uFL” is displayed when the measured temperature is lower than (the minimum value of
measuring range – 20)ºC.
