    Instruction Manual Configuration D102748X012 October 2014 Section 4 Configuration and Calibration 4-4- Initial Setup If a DLC3010 digital level controller ships from the factory mounted on a 249 sensor, initial setup and calibration is not necessary. The factory enters the sensor data, couples the instrument to the sensor, and calibrates the instrument and sensor combination.

  • Page 34: Configuration Advice

    Guided Setup directs you through initialization of configuration data needed for proper operation. When the instrument comes out of the box, the default dimensions are set for the most common Fisher 249 construction, so if any data is unknown, it is generally safe to accept the defaults. The mounting sense ­ 'instrument left or right of displacer' - is important for correct interpretation of positive motion.

    Instruction Manual Configuration D102748X012 October 2014 These steps will provide an approximate PV calibration to get a system operational. Further refinements can then be made when it is possible to manipulate and observe the level and instrument output. Excessive Mechanical Gain If the displacer/torque tube sizing provides more than 4.4 degrees of torque tube rotation for a full span change in process input, It may be difficult to obtain a valid calibration with the normal coupling procedure.
