Checkline TI-CMXDL - Manual (Page 5)

2.3 Selecting the Transducer Type
If the TI-CMXDL does not identify a specific transducer type on initial power up, the user
will be required to select a type from a predefined list of types by diameter and frequency.
By selecting a transducer type from a predefined list, the TI-CMXDL can recall specific
properties about the transducer.
NOTE: Once the transducer has been selected, the TI-CMXDL will store and recall this
transducer type every time the TI-CMXDL is powered on/off. The type will only change if
the user physically selects another transducer type from the list, or selects a previously
saved setup. However, the TI-CMXDL will continue to take you through these steps each
time the gauge is powered up. You’ll notice that the probe type previously selected will be
highlighted every time the probe type screen is displayed. Use the following steps to select
your transducer type:
1. Press the OK or ESC keys to display the factory list of
transducer types (by diameter and frequency).
2. Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the
transducer list until the appropriate type is highlighted.
3. Press the ENTER key to select the transducer type and display
over write existing probe screen.
4. Press the OK key to overwrite the existing probe type with the
newly selected probe type. The zero probe screen will be
displayed. Proceed to the zero probe section that follows.
