CHAPTER 6 - CALIBRATION PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

T
he 809-DM must have the volume calibration programmed
into it for each of the tanks. The 817 Truck Gauge Programmer
is used to program calibrations and to set offsets. When the
programming plug is connected to the gauge, the gauge display
will show "prog" within a couple of seconds.
programming the gauge until "prog" is shown.
has been removed, the gauge display will show "donE" for a
moment. The tank number to be programmed must be selected
before plugging in the programmer, and the programmer must be
unplugged before the next tank can be selected.
Program the 809-DM gauge display into inches:
1. Turn on the programmer.
2. Make sure the inch mode is correct.
3. Select a memory location with MEM LOC.
4. Press the INCH MEM (SHIFT – 1) button to put inches into the
memory. If the inches are already in memory from a previous
calibration, it is not necessary to do it again, but make sure
that they are the correct inches (1/6 or 1/10).
5. Select the tank number to be programmed using the tank
buttons on the front panel. Each tank needs to be programmed
individually.
6. Make sure that the fibers from the sender bars are connected
to the opto connectors on the base PCB, and that the ribbon
cable is connected between the display face and the base PCB.
Plug the programmer plug into the display face, the display
should show "prog" and the tank number being programmed.
7. Press the BAR button. The INCHES display on the programmer
should show some inch reading, if it shows "no L" or "bad L'
check the fiber connection and the bar mode (1/6 or 1/10
inch). NOTE: The black fiber optic cable connector MUST be
shaded from direct sunlight. See the 817 User Manual for
further information.
8. Measure the distance from the bottom of the tank to the
middle of the float, this is the bottom reading. Use the
OFFSET buttons on the programmer to obtain this reading
on the CALIBRATION display. NOTE: The calibration offset is
carried over when memory locations are changed.
9. Press the PROG button to transfer the calibration to the
gauge.
