Case 1: General Applications
Characteristics
•
dry solids
•
low viscosity liquids
Preparation
•
Ensure that the green LED is ON.
•
If yellow LED is ON, turn the trimpot CCW (counter clockwise) until the yellow
LED goes OFF, otherwise go to step 1 below.
Configuration
1. With sensor uncovered and a minimum 50 mm free space all around, turn the
trimpot CW (clockwise) until the yellow LED just goes ON.
2. Turn the trimpot CCW until the yellow LED just goes OFF
Case 2: Demanding Applications,
Characteristics
•
hygroscopic / wet solids
•
high viscosity and high conductivity liquids
Preparation
•
Ensure that the green LED is ON.
•
Turn the trimpot CCW (counter clockwise), until the yellow LED goes OFF.
Configuration
1. Adjust the material level of the process so that the sensor is immersed. The
yellow LED should be ON.
2. Adjust the material level of the process so that the sensor is uncovered, but
retains significant (as much as possible) material buildup on sensor.
3. Adjust the trimpot CCW until yellow LED goes OFF. To get the true feel for the
correct position, please adjust the trimpot CW then CCW several times to ensure
that the yellow LED is OFF. (This adjustment is sensitive, and we recommend this
practice exercise so you can fine tune the trimpot movement until the yellow
LED L1 turns OFF with minimal adjustment.)
Case 3: Interface detection
Characteristics
•
liquid A / liquid B, foam / liquid
Preparation
•
Ensure that the green LED is ON.
•
Turn the trimpot CCW (counterclockwise) until the yellow LED goes OFF.
Configuration
1. Immerse the sensor in the material that has the lowest dielectric constant. The
yellow LED should be ON.
2. Adjust the trimpot CCW until the yellow LED goes OFF.
3. Immerse the sensor in the material that has the highest dielectric constant; the
yellow LED should come ON.
In areas with high levels of EMI, the sensitivity potentiometer should be turned back
Note:
two turns counter-clockwise after the setpoint is adjusted.
After completing the setup, replace the trimpot cap on the cable version, or the lid on the
enclosure version. The unit is now in service, providing level detection of your process.
