XL™ Series
Built In Stage / Remote Stage Setup 10-5
10.5 Remote Stage Setup Overview
This submenu is used to define how the remote stage measurement from the remote stage sensor
will be used. A remote stage sensor means that this reading is external to the H-350XL™. The
user can define an initial stage value and have the offset calculated, or the user can define the
offset and slope that will be applied to the remote stage measurement. This submenu is
convenient to the user especially in the use of SDI-12 sensors. This submenu can be used in place
of setting up the SDI-12 sensor’s offset and slope manually by using the Extended Command
option found in the SDI Transparent submenu. This submenu could also be used for other sensor
applications.

R - Remote Stage: X.XXX Rem Stage [X.XXX ]
This shows the current value for the remote stage and also allows the user to enter a desired
remote stage value and let the XL calculate the offset required to obtain that value. When the
user enters in a stage value the XL will make a new measurement on the input selected as the
remote stage source and calculate a new offset to produce the desired stage value entered by the
user.
Note: The Remote Stage option is useful for those that do not want to program slopes and
offsets into an SDI-12 sensor using the sensor manufactures extended commands to do
so. In this case the slope and offset is stored in the XL. Be careful not to program the
slope and offset in both the sensor and the XL unit. Normally the slope in the sensor
would be set to 1.0 and the offset in the sensor would be set to 0.0.
