Configuring the instrument at startup

Once the LWT instrument is physically installed and properly powered, you might need to configure the
various parameters to better suit your needs if they go beyond the default configuration. The following
pages explain the first-time Easy Setup configuration (in more details than the Quick Start guide).
Your LWT instrument comes configured with certain default parameters, but you still need to select
certain options and set specific values for your instrument to work as you expect. This configuration is
performed via the Easy Setup menu. This menu makes you go through all the basic configuration items
in succession until basic configuration is complete. This menu was designed to cover most typical uses.

To quickly configure your instrument, you need to know the following:
• The language needed on the display
• What you want to measure (level, ullage, etc.)
• The unit in which these measurements must be made
• The lowest and highest levels that you expect to measure in your vessel
• The dielectric constant of the vessel content
• The speed at which the vessel normally fills up or is drained (a.k.a. maximum level rate)
• The measurement that you want displayed on the first line of Operator page 1 (which appears upon
powering on the instrument).
