SLT 5.0 Level and Flow Monitor CONNECTIONS: POWER INPUT: The standard model requires AC power input between 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz . No adjustments are necessary for voltages within this range. Optional DC input model requires 9-32 VDC/9 Watts. Connect to + and - terminals.
SLT 5.0 Level and Flow Monitor KEYPAD SYSTEM The following diagram shows the SLT 5.0 menu system. Arrows show the four directions to leave a menu box. Pressing a corresponding keypad arrow will move to the next item in the direction shown.
The main display shows the units selected from the Units/Mode menu, Level, Range, Flow, HRT, and Volume rate being measured, TOTALIZER and RELAY states. The SLT 5.0 will start-up with this display and will return to this screen after a timeout if keys are not pressed in other menus.
SLT 5.0 Level and Flow Monitor PASSWORD The password (a number from 0000 to 9999) prevents unauthorized access to the Calibration menu. From the Run display press the key to get to . Factory default Password password is 0000 and if it has not been changed press the to proceed to the Menu Selections screen.
Volume mode displays tank inventory in engineering units like Volume gallons or liters. Horizontal Round Tank mode sets the SLT 5.0 to calculate and display volume units in a horizontal round tank. Flow mode is for open channel flow through a flume or weir.
Press and or to change the number of seconds without LOE Time receiving an echo before the SLT 5.0 displays ECHO LOSS, and Control relays change state as calibrated under Relay Parameters. Factory default is 30 seconds and is recommended for most applications, Minimum is 1 second and maximum is 99 seconds.
