    Introduction Notes: • This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications. • The Probe is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual. The Probe is an ultrasonic level monitor combining sensor and electronics in a single package.

  • Page 6: Calibration: Reference Method

    Calibration The calibration of the mA output may be done such that its span will be either proportional or inversely proportional to the material level. The 4 and 20 mA levels may be calibrated in Note: any order. proportional span inversely proportional span high level = 20 mA high level = 4 mA...

    Adjustments There are several operating adjustments that can be made to The Probe. • Press the "4" and "20" keys simultaneously until the desired adjustment is obtained. A viewing sequence of the stored value is automatically initiated. • During this time, press either the "4" or "20" key to change the value. After viewing or changing, operation automatically reverts to the Run mode (6 sec).

    Blanking The Probe Blanking is used to ignore the zone in front of the transducer where false echoes are at a level that blanking interfere with the processing of the true echo. It is measured outward from the sensor face. The minimum recommended blanking value is 0.25 m (0.82 ft) but can be increased in order to extend the blanking.
  • Page 9 • To change the speed of response, obtain the `SP' display. • Scroll forward through the options (1-2-3) by pressing the "20" key. Scroll backward through the options (3-2-1) by pressing the "4" key. • When the desired option is displayed, stop pressing the key. The display will automatically return to the Run mode (6 sec).

    • To change the fail-safe default obtain the `FLS' display. • Scroll forward through the options (1-2-3) by pressing the "20" key. Scroll backward through the options (3-2-1) by pressing the "4" key. • When the desired option is displayed, stop pressing the key. The display will automatically return to the Run mode (6 sec).
