    Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use 1. INTRODUCTION NIVOCAP CT-200 is a two-wire capacitance level transmitter for measuring level and volume (weight) of conductive or not-conductive liquids or free flowing solids.

    5. PROGRAMMING Since NIVOCAP is not measuring level directly, the basic element of the programming is measurement (learning) at two different levels during which the instrument is learning conditions of the actual application (shape of the tank, medium to be measured, etc.). To reach accuracy given in the table of the Technical Data these two levels should be possibly near to both end of the (rod or cable) probes (See Operation and Programming of NIVOCAP on page 4) Learning will be represented (with Programming Without Display Module 5.1 and with QUICKSET) by the adjustment of 4 and 20 mA better to say assignment of 0% and 100% to these two output values respectively.

    5.2. P SAP-202 ROGRAMMING WITH THE DISPLAY MODULE The NIVOCAP should be adjusted to the process by programming the parameters. The SAP-200 Display Module can be used to display the parameters while programming and measurement values during measurement. The SAP-200 supports two separately accessible programming modes as below. QUICKSET (See 5.2.4) This feature is for quick programming of the 4 basic parameters like with programming without display module but aided by images on the display.

    Table should always contain data L(i) = 100% Should the linearisation table contain less than 32 data pairs (j < 32) so the left column of the table must be closed wit 0: L(j < 32) = 0. The NIVOCAP will ignore data after recognising level value”0” with the serial number other than “1”.0 If the above conditions are not fulfilled error will be indicated (see Chapter Error Codes) 6.6.

    6.8. S IMULATION This function enables the user to test the settings of the outputs. The NIVOCAP can simulate the static or continuous change of level according to the simulation cycle time, high level and low level set in P85, P86 and P87. (The simulation levels must be within the programmed measuring range set in P04 and P05.) After selecting simulation type in P84 and setting simulation values Measurement Mode has to be re-entered.
