8.3 Index selector examples

Note
• Setting up the device may be done through the index selector parameters; however,
using the Quick Start Wizards is still the preferred method to commission the device.
• An indexed transducer is commonly referred to as a Point (short for Level Point). A Point
number refers to indexed transducers.
• Indexes are set in each sub-menu by one or more selector parameters.
• Transducers are always indexed when the dual-point option is enabled.
• On a single-point device, transducer parameters are indexed only if Operation [Sensor
Mode (2.1.3.) (Page 163) ] is set to Difference (mode = Dual-Point Difference) or Average
(mode = Dual-Point Average)
• Index selector parameters contain a value for each selector regardless if that selector is
used or not.
• To view or change a parameter that applies to a different index in the same sub-menu ,
the new index must be first set in the selector parameter.
• For optimum performance, set selector values accurately for indexed parameters. Ensure
that the correct index value is being changed for each parameter value.
• If the device is a single point unit, some selector parameters will not be visible unless
Differential or Average operation is selected.
8.3 Index selector examples
The examples provided below show the behavior of the index selector parameters for an
application requiring Level measurement and relays to control a small level in small vessels
with pumps and high alarm. For more details, see Parameter reference (Page 155).
8.3.1

Sensor and measurement

1. Navigate to Sensor (2.1.) (Page 162)
2. Set Units (2.1.1.) (Page 162) to meters.
3. Set Transducer Selector (2.1.4.) (Page 164) to Transducer 1 for the first vessel.
4. Set Sensor Mode (2.1.3.) (Page 163) to Level.
5. Set Transducer (2.1.5.) (Page 164) to XPS-10.
Note
Repeat this procedure if a second ultrasonic sensor or mA is needed. Choose Transducer 2
in Transducer Selector (2.1.4.) (Page 164)
