The level sensor is now in configuration mode. The current consumption of the
level sensor is 12 mA. If no button is pressed again, the level sensor remains in
configuration mode for 20 seconds before reverting to measuring mode and dis-
carding any changes. In configuration mode, the 4 mA or 20 mA reference point,
or both, can be modified in any order.
To define a reference point:
Move the float to the desired reference point
briefly press (0.1 to 2 seconds) "4 mA" button (2) to define a current consump-
tion of 4 mA at this position
briefly press (0.1 to 2 seconds) "20 mA" button (3) to define a current consump-
tion of 20 mA at this position
When the "4 mA" button is pressed, the LED goes out for 5 seconds. When the
"20 mA" button is pressed, the LED lights up permanently for 5 seconds.
The sensor then remains in configuration mode for a further 15 seconds before storing
the change and reverting to measuring mode.
The new measuring range configuration is not stored until the
level sensor reverts from adjustment mode to configuration mode
automatically and the LED goes out. The new configuration is re-
tained even if the level sensor is subsequently disconnected from
the power supply.
For "dry" settings to be possible in the case of bypass sensors, a
magnetic system with spacer bracket will need to be obtained from the
manufacturer of the bypass. Configuration can then be carried out even
with the sensor removed.
