Bindicator VRF-1000R Series Quick Start Manual

Start-up & Operation
The VRF-1000R Remote model will automatically begin operation when
powered up. It should be initially powered after it is installed in the application
and with material below the probe. When initially powered up, the VRF-1000R
Remote model will automatically begin a 3 second calibration operation. If the
unit is powered on the bench prior to installation, or moved from one installation
to another, recalibration is required. Momentarily press the recalibration
pushbutton. The green calibration indication LED will go off, and after 3 seconds
illuminate to indicate calibration is complete. The VRF-1000R Remote model is
shipped from the manufacturer with the automatic calibration/recalibration
feature enabled. If only manual pushbutton calibration/recalibration is desired,
set SW1 DIP switch position 6 to off.
Please see VRF180002 for complete installation guidelines.
