Page 2: Safety Precautions
Introduction Please read carefully! No liability can be accepted for damage caused by improper use or installation of the Tracer 1000 Level Transmitter. Featuring TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) technology, the Tracer 1000™ provides continuous radar level measurement and point level detection in liquids and solids, with analog and switching output. This innovative radar device has almost no installation restrictions –... -

The Tracer 1000 is mounted vertically at the top of the tank via the process connection thread. The threaded process connection can be screwed directly into a standard female threaded tank connection. We recommend using Teflon tape on the process connection.

the tank nozzle. This may cause erroneous readings from the transmitter. Anchoring fixtures are permissible and supplied by the end-user. Please contact FLO-CORP for further details about using anchoring fixtures. Since the Tracer 1000 has an energy signature that is approximately a 1.5” to 2.0” radius from the center of the probe, considerations should be made when engineering the proper probe location for mounting. -
Page 7: Operation
FLO-CORP assumes no responsibility for users incorrectly wiring their device. Please refer to the wiring diagrams and read all wiring instructions for correct wiring of this device. The Tracer 1000 is an active, single ended, non-isolated, 3 or 4 wire analog output transmitter. That is to say, the common’s (or returns) for both the 24 volt DC AND the 4 - 20 mA output are tied together internally in the Tracer 1000 transmitter electronics. - Page 8 Figure 3: Wiring Diagram Interconnecting Wiring to DigaCom 2000 Typical 3-Wire Connection (877) 356-5463 (p) 330-331-7331 (f) 330-331-7172 www.FLO-CORP.com © 2017 FLO-CORP REVA 1116...

is a PC software based tool that allows the user to configure basic and advanced settings, diagnose and troubleshoot as well as save settings in a .CSV format. The Tracer Configuration Tool communicates to the PC via factory supplied HART® Modem. The Modem is connected to the USB port of the PC and the opposite end is connected with alligator clips to a factory supplied 250 Ω... - Page 12 reading. The disturbance is memorized and suppressed during operation so only the actual level signals caused by the material level are measured. The disturbance signal scan works most effectively on stationary objects like a latter, pipes, tall and thin nozzles, chains or other objects that are in close proximity to the probe. The Tracer 1000 must be installed in the tank or silo to execute a disturbance signal scan and the tank or silo must be empty or near empty.
- Page 13 If this is the only function you want to perform, set the following DIP switches to the OFF/0 position. Otherwise, continue to the next basic step: Setting the Upper Range Value (20 mA): Please see fig. 8 Fill or empty the material in the tank to the level of the tank where you want the 20 mA measuring range to be. It is required that the level stays within the measuring range indicated by the (M) in fig.

When programming or changing the configuration of the Coaxial probe, the only values needed to be changed should be the Lower Range Value and the Upper Range Value, switch settings and response time. Figure 8: Set Upper Range Value See programming steps 2 & 3 for setting these values. -
