AST Power Mode
For ST100 units with AST only: Sets heater mode (Constant Delta T
[AST] or Constant Power) and max. heater current for AST (90 mA or 105
mA). The max. current value forms the threshold at which the instrument
switches over to Constant Power mode.

Note 1. To set HART operation, select HART Flow from 4-20 mA #1 drop-down list (in Analog Output Selection field).
Note 2. Digital busses (includes HART, Modbus, and FF/Profibus) are mutually exclusive, meaning only one can be active at
a time. Attempting to enable HART when Modbus or FF/Profibus is in effect causes the Digital Bus Deactivation Warning
dialog to display: Click OK to make the change and force the Digital Output Selection to None or click Cancel to leave the
setting unchanged. Attempting to enable Modbus or FF/Profibus when HART is in effect causes the HART Deactivation
Warning dialog to display: Click OK to make the change and force the 4-20 mA #1 Selection to Flow or click Cancel to leave
the setting unchanged.
