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 > Write Lock Setup). Select Writes Enabled to enable writing setup and calibration
data, or select Writes Disabled to disable writing data. Note that cycling power will clear the Write Lock condition to "Writes
Enabled".

Sensor Units
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to enter the desired sensor units.
D Length Units— Permits setting the units of measure for the displacer length (in feet, meters, inches, or centimeters).
D Volume Units— Permits setting the units of measure for the displacer volume (in liters, cubic inches, cubic
millimeters, or milliliters).
D Weight Units— Permits setting the units of measure for the displacer weight (in grams, kilograms, pounds, or
ounces).
D Torque Rate Units— Permits setting 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 Units— Select either degC (degrees centigrade) or degF (degrees Fahrenheit) to enter the temperature
units. Note that when using degF, the Temperature Alert Deadband parameter is incorrectly displayed with a 32_
bias.
Sensor Dimensions
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to enter the 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.
