Operation

A/B setpoints

or exceeds the LO setpoint, the LED is extinguished and the

contacts open.

Note

The HI and LO contacts are both closed on power-off of the
instrument which is a state unique to the power-off condition.

Note

If the LENGTH is adjusted subsequent to configuring the various
setpoints, the percentage of active length will be maintained for all
setpoints. For example, if the LENGTH is set to 100 cm and the HI
SETPOINT is set to 80 cm, then adjusting the LENGTH to 150 cm
will result in the HI SETPOINT being automatically scaled to 120
cm—i.e. the setting of 80% of active length is maintained.

Configure the A SETPOINT and the B SETPOINT

To adjust the A and B setpoints which specify the upper and lower limits

for the liquid level control band, place the control mode rotary switch in

the A SETPOINT position or the B SETPOINT position, respectively. Use

the RAISE/LOWER toggle switch to adjust the respective setpoint in the

same manner as described for the LENGTH adjustment in step 2. The A

and B setpoint adjustments are compatible with all three units modes.

a. When the measured liquid level reaches or exceeds the A

setpoint, the A LEVEL LED on the front panel is energized.

When the level falls below the A setpoint, the LED is

extinguished.

b. When the measured liquid level falls below the B setpoint, the B

LEVEL LED on the front panel is energized. When the level

reaches or exceeds the B setpoint, the LED is extinguished.

c. In addition to the LED functions, the controller output

receptacle may be energized and de-energized as discussed in

step 5 below.

Note

The A setpoint must always be above the B setpoint. The firmware
does not allow these setpoints to be reversed. Both setpoints may be
set from 0% to 100% of the LENGTH setting as long as A > B.
