Manual Setup

The DLC3010 digital level controller has the capability to communicate via the HART protocol. This section describes
the advanced features that can be accessed with the Field Communicator.
Note
Changing setup parameters may require enabling writing to the instrument with the Field Communicator (Overview > Device
Information > Alarm Type and Security > Security > Change Protection). Select Not Write Protected to enable writing setup and
calibration data, or select Write Protected to disable writing data. Note that cycling power will clear the write lock condition to "Not
Write Protected".

Sensor Units
D Length selects the units of measure for the displacer length (in feet, meters, inches, or centimeters).
D Volume selects the units of measure for the displacer volume (in liters, cubic inches, cubic millimeters, or milliliters).
D Weight selects the units of measure for the displacer weight (in grams, kilograms, pounds, or ounces).
D Torque Rate selects the torque rate units (in lbf‐in per deg—pounds‐force inches per degree rotation; newton‐m per
deg—newton‐meters per degree rotation; or dyne‐cm per deg—dyne-centimeters per degree rotation.
D Temperature selects either degC (degrees centigrade) or degF (degrees Fahrenheit) for the temperature units.
Sensor Dimensions
Dimensions can be found on the sensor name plate as shown in figure 4‐1.
D Displacer Length— Enter the displacer length from the sensor nameplate.
D Displacer Volume— Enter the displacer volume from the sensor nameplate.
D Displacer Weight— Enter the displacer weight from the sensor nameplate.
D Driver Rod Length— Enter the displacer rod length. The displacer rod length depends upon the sensor type. For a
249 sensor, obtain the displacer rod length from table 4‐1 or from the Field Communicator Help. Refer to figure 4‐2
to physically measure this value.
